Rhododendron lovers get really excited for spring, and all you need to do is look at the pictures of the blooms to understand why. The selection Honey Butter Rhododendron is a total dream, with brilliant, multi-colored blooms.
Smooth yellow throats brighten into orange, then turn seashell pink along the perimeter of the petals. From a distance, the whole thing reads as coral, but up close? You'll delight in spending time studying this unique colorway. Every flower is a one-of-a-kind creation. Who needs the beach sunset when you have these plants?
Plant several of these in a low, curving hedge along your patio or grow them in large containers near a comfy seating area. You and your guests will want to spend time nearby. You'll stop calling the season "Spring" and start calling it by the right name, "Rhododendron Time."
Attractive foliage stays on all year, which you'll love. This is a fantastic shrub, but it does need fast-draining, acidic soil for best performance.
Sandy loam is perfect. But clay soil? Ugh, not so much. Improve the drainage by creating a mound or raised bed 18 inches tall. Amend the soil with pine needle soil conditioner, peat moss and perlite pellets.
Plant them high, with several inches of root ball showing above ground. Then, "mound up" around them with pine mulch without touching the stem. Keep these evenly moist. This is a very shallow rooted plant, so please pull weeds just as soon as you see them appear.
