How to care for your plant
Reliable and easy to grow, plant your Rhododendron in a partially shaded place that is sheltered from the harsh winter wind, in moist but free draining slightly acidic (ericaceous) soil. Avoid planting your Rhododendron too deep, and aim to keep the root crown slightly above the soil level to prevent rot.
