This hybrid rhododendron adds a burst of colour to any garden from late spring to early summer.

Where to Position Your Rhododendron Hybrid 'Catawbiense Grandiflorum'

Rhododendron Hybrid 'Catawbiense Grandiflorum' thrives best in acidic, well-drained soil, and prefers a location with partial to full shade. It is ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as an accent plant in mixed shrubbery. Ensure it is planted where it can receive some morning sun but is protected from the harsh midday heat, which can stress the plant.

Growth and Maintenance

This rhododendron is valued for its robust growth and striking floral display. It requires regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base helps maintain soil moisture and provides a layer of protection against temperature extremes. Prune after flowering to shape the plant and remove any spent blooms. This will also encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
