Delicate light pink blossoms, gradually fading to a softer pink with a striking deep red center, form a rounded cluster that blooms in early May. The plant has a broad, compact growth habit with lush, glossy green leaves. Its beauty is further enhanced by its tendency to bloom once more in the Autumn. Grow Rhododendrons in moist, well drained, acid soil that has been enriched with plenty of well rotted organic matter. Choose a position in semi or dappled shade with shelter from cold drying winds. Many dwarf Rhododendrons can cope with a sunny position provided that the soil remains reliably moist. Where soil conditions are alkaline, Rhododendron plants are best grown in patio containers, using a mix of ericaceous compost and a soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Rhododendrons are surface rooting so it is important to avoid planting them too deeply.
