Rhododendron XXL (‘Hort02’) (PBR) | 5 Litre Pot

Super-sized flowers!. Position: partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained, humus-rich, acid soil or ericaceous compost Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: May to June Hardiness: fully hardy As the name suggests, the buds of this evergreen rhododendron are larger than average, and the flowers tend to last for a week or so longer than many of the other varieties. This then, coupled with the blush and hot pink colouring of the gently ruffled petals, makes it a real show-stopper. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. Garden care: Avoid planting too deeply. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of leaf mould around the base of the plant each spring.
