Overview

Plant Details

Growing Guide

Plant in partial shade in fertile, humus-rich, acidic soil with good drainage. Rhododendrons dislike waterlogged conditions but benefit from soil that remains evenly moist, particularly while establishing and during dry spells.

Apply a mulch of leaf mould, composted bark or other ericaceous organic matter each spring to help retain moisture and maintain suitable soil conditions. Avoid lime-rich soils, as these shrubs perform best in acidic conditions.

Wildlife

The spring flowers provide nectar for bees and other pollinating insects.
