Rhododendron - Dwarf and Compact

A large genus which has been divided by the botanists into many series. We grow mainly the dwarf and slow growing species and hybrids. These grow on open hillsides forming Rhododendron Heaths in their natural habitat, similar to our own moorland. For best results they should be planted in an open situation, shaded from the mid-day sun, in lime free soil that does not get too dry. Ideal inter-planted with other small Ericaceous shrubs like Cassiopes, Gaultherias etc. compact Asiatic Primulas, Soldanellas, Shortias, Autumn flowering Gentians and many of the other plants we grow.
