Overview
Masses of stunning fragrant salmon pink blooms with a central splash of orange are produced over compact plants in June and by deadheading they may produce a second flush of blooms later in the season. The young foliage is coppery in colour and hairy. and goes on to produce rich autumn colours in yellow, orange and red.
This variety belongs to the group of Deciduous Hybrid Rhododendrons (commonly known as Azaleas). Azaleas are prized for their bold splashes of colour during May when they produce magnificent displays of beautiful large blooms. They are more graceful in habit than their evergreen cousins, with many cultivars having lovely autumn colour.
They are ericaceous plants i.e. they require acidic to neutral soils (pH7 or lower) and generally will not thrive in more alkaline conditions (i.e. high in lime, pH7.5 or higher). Being woodland plants, they require moist but well drained soil that is rich in organic matter as well as the dappled shade and shelter of other trees and shrubs. They are also useful subjects for a sheltered North facing border.
Rhododendrons are surface rooting and have very fine roots so extra care is needed when planting, adding in plenty of organic matter (such as leaf mould, peat or good quality ericaceous compost) to the planting area to form a nice friable mixture. They will not thrive if planted too deeply so keep to the same depth as your plant is growing in its pot. Water the plant thoroughly and ensure the plant is thoroughly soaked at its roots at all times during any dry spells.
