Rhododendrons usually take up a lot of space. They have their place mainly in bigish gardens where they can grow to their full potential. This dwarf variety is very compact and very floriferous in early spring. It even tries to flower again sometimes in autumn.
This plant does best in a shadyish spot but will perform almost anywhere provided it has acidic soil. To guarantee the soil is acidic use ericaceous compost in the planting hole and feed in the autumn and early spring with ericaceous general purpose fertilizer.
Cuttings can be taken two to three months after flowering.
