Rhododendron

Rhododendrons bring strong colour when in flower and provide a shrub to plan the rest of a border around. Choose a variety to suit the space and conditions.

Give the roots a good home

Acidic, well-drained soil and a steady supply of moisture make a good foundation. Work gently near the shrub because its roots are shallow.
