This variety belongs to a group that includes hybrids of Rhododendron japonica and Rhododendron nakaharae. These are generally dwarf in habit, most growing much wider than high. All are prolific in flower, producing masses of delicate, funnel shaped flowers during April and May, against a foil of evergreen foliage. They are charming subjects for a shaded small garden or woodland planting.

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.

  • Nigel H Verified Buyer
    I have always found Ashwood’s service to be excellent and reliable over the years I have bought plants from them. Due to one of my heathers dying from a lack of water this summer thanks to an unnoticed blocked irrigation line, I needed a large replacement to fill the gap. These were currently out of stock so I asked to be notified when back in and on receiving this, ordered two plants which were delivered the following week. They were well packed, arrived in excellent condition with plenty of flower buds and one is fitting in nicely with the original plants. Highly recommended nursery.
  • Elizabeth F Verified Buyer

  • Peter S Verified Buyer
    Bought a Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Fernspray Gold'. Excellent plant. Well packaged and delivered. No issues. So pleased I bought a second one.
  • Alan R Verified Buyer
    I ordered 2 climbers and shrub mail order. They came with a week and I was kept infomed by email. The care in packaging was outstanding in stiff cardboard box with a firm carboard tray and well wrapped and supported plants. All plants were in good condition (especially considering the drought) - the only damage was done by me in unravelling the stems of one of the climbers. Fully recommend and will do again.
  • Jayne R Verified Buyer

  • Aidan M Verified Buyer
    Three plants arrived swiftly and in very good health - two escallonias and a ceratostigma. A very good size too, clearly well looked after. Great selection of plants elsewhere in the online catalogue too
