Product description
An evergreen dwarf shrub with a compact, mounding habit. The Rhododendron ‘Blue Tit’ is a dense little bush that’s perfect for adding a bit of Spring colour to any garden. Its compact nature preference for partially shaded areas make it a good choice for shady sites where it’s a bit harder to find something to fit, especially in smaller gardens. It carries mid to dark green, sometimes yellow-tinged, foliage and trusses of trumpet-shaped violet-blue flowers from mid-Spring.
Plant in moist, humus-rich, well-drained acidic soil and keep in partial sun. It can tolerate some full sun, but it is not recommended. Shallow planting advised along with some frost protection.
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. This plant will be supplied in a grower’s pot.

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.
