Rhododendron 'Pink Lady'
- A large-flowered garden Hybrid, Rhododendron ‘Pink Lady’ is an evergreen shrub with voluminous, deep-pink blooms through the spring.
- Contrasting with the gorgeous flowers, the evergreen leaves are glossy, olive-green and provide a good foil for other plants such as colourful perennials.
- Rhododendrons thrive in moist soil and partial shade and need acidic soil, so incorporate plenty of ericaceous compost to the planting hole or container.
- Ideal to provide masses of colour in early spring, plants can also be grown in a pot (remember to use ericaceous compost) and benefit from regular watering and feeding.
- Supplied as an established plant in a 4L pot, 'Pink Lady' will reach H2.5m (8ft) x W2.5m (8ft) and suits container growing perfectly.

Rhododendrons have a shallow root systems to quickly capture rainfall, so need to be kept well-watered - mulch to keep them from drying out.
Care Guide
- Rhododendrons can tolerate a more open site as long as they are sheltered from cold, drying winds and early morning sunlight. Mulch plants and water deeply and regularly during dryer periods from July onwards.
- Your Rhododendron should be planted slightly higher than it was in its pot into well-draining soil.
- Rhododendrons need an acidic soil with a pH of around 5.5 in order to thrive - soils with pH higher than 5.5 should be acidified before planting or you can grow them in a container with ericaceous compost.
- Keep plants well watered and apply a mulch to prevent the soil from drying out.
