How to maintain your Rhododendron Petticoat Lane once established?

Watering

Water regularly during establishment and through extended dry periods. Rhododendrons prefer consistent soil moisture but dislike waterlogged conditions.

Feeding

Apply a fertiliser designed for rhododendrons, camellias, or other acid-loving plants in early spring and again after flowering if required.

Pruning

Very little pruning is necessary. Remove spent flower trusses after flowering to help direct energy into next season's growth and blooms.

Mulching

Apply organic mulch annually to conserve moisture, improve soil structure, and suppress weeds.
