Catawba Boursault Rhododendron (Rhododendron catawbiense 'Boursault') is an evergreen flowering shrub known for its dense upright growth and attractive year-round foliage. In mid to late spring, it produces clusters of lavender-pink flowers with subtle green, yellow-brown, or reddish throat markings, adding color to shaded garden areas.

This plant thrives in shade to partial shade and is suitable for woodland gardens, foundation plantings, mixed shrub borders, privacy screens, and naturalized landscapes. It attracts pollinators such as butterflies and provides cover and nesting habitat for birds.
