General info
Rhododendron or rhododendron is a hardy plant with an exuberant bloom. The literal translation is 'rose tree', perhaps because of the beautiful, brightly colored flowers and full shape - some shrubs can grow quite large. The variant of Bestselect is a unique mix of purple-growing young shoots, dark brown leaves and dark pink flowers.
Maintenance
Rhododendrons are acid loving plants. They thrive well in humus-rich, well-drained sandy and sandy loam soils. They like shade or partial shade and require sufficient nutrition and moist soils. The ideal time to plant is spring or autumn. Cut back your rhododendron by a third shortly after flowering to maintain the plant’s shape.
