Product description
Rhododendrons are renowned for their display of showy flowers, and Rhododendron Azurro is no different. Decorating the shrub from late spring to early summer, Azurro blooms are vivid in colour. The vibrant purple petals feature frilled edges, and the violet hues are perfectly complemented by a dark red blotch on each flower. As the blooms grow in clusters, they produce a striking effect and are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Rhododendron Azurro is an undemanding shrub that is hardy and easy to grow. It prefers a sheltered spot in partial shade and thrives in slightly acidic, moist but well-draining soil. Clay, loamy, or sandy soil types are perfect. Use ericaceous compost for planting rhododendrons in pots and containers.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Avoid planting Rhododendrons too deep; the root crown should be slightly above soil level to prevent rot.
How to Water
Water Rhododendrons regularly, especially in dry periods. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Mulch around the base to help retain moisture and prevent weeds.
How to Plant
Plant Rhododendrons in a partially shaded spot with acidic, well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and place the plant, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.
