Description

Big, bold flower trusses make Rhododendron ponticum impossible to ignore in late spring. Rich mauve-purple blooms cluster above deep evergreen foliage, creating dramatic colour in woodland borders and large shrub plantings. Its broad, glossy leaves hold their presence throughout the year, giving structure even in the dullest months. Originally valued for its vigorous growth and ability to thrive in challenging conditions, this rhododendron quickly creates a dense, leafy backdrop that is perfect as a screen or fast growing hedge. The flowers attract pollinators in abundance, while the plant itself delivers a classic, romantic look associated with old estates and mature gardens. Ideal where a strong architectural shrub is needed, it combines toughness with a spectacular floral display that lights up shaded corners with ease. Ultimate height and spread: 4m (13ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow
Grow Rhododendrons in moist, well drained, acid soil that has been enriched with plenty of well rotted organic matter. Choose a position in semi or dappled shade with shelter from cold drying winds. Many dwarf Rhododendrons can cope with a sunny position provided that the soil remains reliably moist. Where soil conditions are alkaline, Rhododendron plants are best grown in patio containers, using a mix of ericaceous compost and a soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Rhododendrons are surface rooting so it is important to avoid planting them too deeply.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Water Rhododendron plants regularly throughout the growing season. Where possible, use rainwater as the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidity in the soil over time. Feed Rhododendrons in spring with a slow release fertiliser for acid-loving plants. Protect plants from cold winter winds. Border grown Rhododendrons will appreciate an autumn mulch to protect their shallow roots from winter cold. Take care not to mound the mulch too close to the stem as this may cause it to rot. Inkharo Group Rhododendrons respond well to pruning - trim them immediately after flowering in summer.
