Product description
The Rhododendron ‘Moerheim’ is a smaller, compact variety of the popular shrub which is perfect for container planting. Its bushy, mounded growth habit creates a dense clump of glossy, dark green foliage that sits beneath numerous clusters of small, trumpet-shaped violet-blue, almost purple, flowers which bloom from mid to late Spring. A colourful option for partially shaded sites or for use as a flowering low hedge.
Plant in moist, humus-rich, well-drained acidic soil and keep partially shaded. Tolerates full sun but may affect flower longevity and foliage colour. Keep in sheltered position and provide 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.

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.
