Tips For Care

Pink and Sweet performs best in well-drained, acid, organic soil that maintains a uniform moisture level all year. It grows 3-5 feet wide and 4-6 feet wide. Site selection is very important because Rhododendrons and Azaleas have shallow roots that will dry out quickly during periods of limited rainfall.

Remember not to plant these shallow-rooted plants too deeply. Mound them up in a hill of extra soil, leaving an inch or two of the root ball showing. Mulch well and avoid disturbing its roots, and fertilize twice a year with an acid-loving formula, and water well throughout the growth period. Prune to shape and open the interior immediately after flowering and ever prune after mid-summer because those branches produce the next season’s flowers.

• Plant in Full Sun & Partial Shade
• Moderate Moisture & Enriched Well-Drained Soil
• Mulch Well
• Prune After Flowering Only
• Very Cold Hardy

For an adorable addition to your landscape, fragrance galore and low-maintenance!
