Product description
Our Rhododendron Collection come in packs that include different varieties. They provide a tremendous burst of colour when they bloom. Their flowerheads are vibrant and eye-catching, whilst also contrasting very well against the lush green coloured foliage. Easily enhancing garden displays in their growing season, these plants are ideal for flower beds, borders, pots, containers and more.
You will find that these plants are easy to grow and take minimal effort to maintain. They prefer a sunny spot of the garden and appreciate being planted in moist, well-drained soil. Regular watering should take place until they establish themselves, then it is only required when the soil is dry to touch.

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.

How to Water
Water deeply once per week, ensuring the surrounding soil is thoroughly soaked. It’s better to provide a generous watering less often than a little water more frequently. Wherever possible, use rainwater rather than alkaline-rich tap water. Alternatively, leave tap water out for a few days before watering.
How to Plant
Choose a sheltered spot in partial shade or full sun in moist but well-draining, humus-rich, neutral to acidic soil. If planting in pots or containers use ericaceous compost. Position the plant so the roots are just below the surface of the soil and fill in the hole, adding a layer of organic mulch to help maintain moisture. Water thoroughly, ideally using rainwater.
