Rhododendron ‘Schneewittchen’ (3-Litre Pot)

Fabulous funnel-shaped, perfectly pink flowers form in clusters covering Rhododendron ‘Schneewittchen’. With a delightful frilly edge, the flowers are worth admiring up close, while the large clusters are dramatic enough to add impact to enjoy at a distance.

Adding depth and contrast of colour, it also has densely packed dark green foliage that accentuates the vibrancy of the pink flowers. When the flowers are not in bloom, the foliage then acts as a foil for other plants in the garden, while its neat and compact growth adds structure and year-round interest to admire.

A wonderful addition to a range of outside spaces, it looks wonderful planted in beds and borders, as well as gravel areas and a range of partially shaded spaces around the garden. It looks striking enjoyed as a specimen plant on its own creating a dramatic burst of colour, but it looks equally beautiful planted alongside a range of other plants including Hostas, Ferns, Viburnum and much more.

Perfect for adding low maintenance colour and year-round structure to garden displays, it requires minimal care to create a wonderful display of colour.

How to care for your plant

Robust and reliable to grow, position your Rhododendron in an area of partial or dappled shade, in well-drained but acidic (ericaceous) soil. Avoid areas that get too hot such as south facing walls and patios. Once established, it needs very little or no pruning and will flourish for years to come.
