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.
