Apply a fertiliser formulated for rhododendrons and acid-loving plants in early spring to support strong growth and prolific flowering.

Pruning

Minimal pruning is required. Remove spent flower heads after flowering to encourage energy into next season's buds. Remove any dead or damaged branches as necessary.

Mulching

Apply a generous layer of bark, leaf mould, or compost annually to help maintain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and keep roots cool.
