Rhododendron Black Hat® is a 'PJM' type but with an early bloom set that lasts longer. This compact spring bloomer stands 3 feet tall and wide and features dark evergreen foliage. The cooler the weather the darker the leaves. In the spring bright pink buds open to lavender pink blooms. Black Hat® features small leaves and has a well branched, dense habit resulting in more flowers. Grown in full sun to part shade, Black Hat® offers several seasons of color from its stunning foliage to its beautiful blooms. Black Hat® is a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub.

Reviews

This plant is very attractive. I bought two last spring. One of them died (hence the four stars rather than five) but the other one looks great. I don't know what caused the one to die, could have been something eating the roots or something, so not necessarily the plant's fault. But the surviving one looks really good even now in the middle of a cold, snowy winter. I am buying another one to replace the one that died.
