Product description
Rhododendron 'Princess Anne' is a compact, dense evergreen shrub. This variety sports neat matte green foliage throughout the year, though it will appear slightly bronze early in the season and also at winter time. Small, 3cm wide funnel-shaped pale yellow flowers with green stems accompany the foliage in mid-spring to give it a nice dotted effect amongst the yellowish-green leaves. This bushy variety is extremely hardy and can tolerate most well-drained soils, it also loves being in fully sunny positions in the garden, but it will do just as well in a partially shaded area.

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.
