Tips For Care

Rhododendrons will tolerate full sun, especially up north. However, they’ll grow best in partial shade. Although it thrives in cooler regions, it’s a good idea to give them protection from the worst of the strong winter winds. However, you don’t want to crowd them, as they do need good air circulation. Well-drained soil is a must. 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.

You’ll then bring a three-inch layer of mulch up around the base of the plant. Last, pull the mulch back away from touching the stems. Water consistently during the first season. Thereafter, you’ll want to give them regular deep drinks when the weather gets dry.

Prune to shape, but wait until after the blooms are finished! Don’t wait too long, as you might accidentally trim off next year’s flowers. Weed your plantings regularly. Avoid underplanting near your Roseum Pink Rhododendron to give the roots room to spread. Feed with slow-release fertilizer for acid-loving plants. Follow the label directions for timing and application rates.
