Product description

Evergreen, dwarf shrub with a compact habit. At the age of 10, it grows to about 0.6 m high by 1.2 m wide. Green, oblong and shiny leaves. The flowers are pure red, very decorative, collected in spherical inflorescences on the tops of the shoots. Blooms profusely in early May. Due to its compact size, the variety is especially recommended for small home gardens as well as heathlands.

Rhododendrons should be planted in permeable, acidic soil (pH 4.5 - 6.0), slightly moist (you can also purchase a special substrate for rhododendrons in most garden stores). It is best to choose semi-shaded positions, sheltered from the wind. Due to the shallow root system, even old rhododendron specimens can be transplanted to another place if necessary. We can also successfully grow them in pots. Pruning should be limited to spring cutting out dead or diseased shoots and removing faded inflorescences.
