Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant in spring (late April – May) or early autumn in a partly shaded, sheltered spot with acidic (pH 4.5–5.5), humus-rich, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil; a peat-based substrate is suitable. Dig a wide but shallow hole, set the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the soil (not deeper) and water generously. Space plants 1–1.5 m apart.
Watering Rhododendron roots are shallow and moisture-sensitive – water regularly, preferably with rainwater, and water generously in autumn before the ground freezes. Mulch the soil 5–8 cm deep with pine bark or needles.
Pruning Little pruning is needed: remove faded flower trusses (snap them off without damaging new buds) and dead branches; rejuvenate old shrubs in spring.
Feeding and winter care Feed in spring and after flowering with a fertiliser for acid-loving plants (rhododendrons); avoid lime, chlorine and fresh manure. An evergreen rhododendron needs winter protection: cover it with spruce boughs or fleece against spring sun and wind, water generously in autumn and mulch the roots.
