Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant in spring in a shady or part-shaded, sheltered spot in acidic, humus-rich, lime-free soil.
Watering Keep the soil moist but not wet; use rainwater if possible.
Pruning Needs no pruning; remove dead branches or tidy the shape after flowering if needed.
Feeding and winter care Feed in spring with a fertiliser for rhododendrons and acid-loving plants. Borderline in Estonian winters: plant in a sheltered spot and cover with mulch and fleece, or grow in a pot and overwinter in a cool frost-free room.
