Rhododendron ‘Magic Flute’ is a superb hardy shrub that is much adored for its trumpet-shaped, double, magenta pink blooms. They will appear in bundles from April until May and smother a compact growing, spherical habit of deep green leaflets. A beautiful addition to the front of borders, patio pots and tropical themed landscapes, it will really liven up dull outdoor spaces and remain easy to care for all year round. Happy to develop in semi shade, watch it thrive to a height of 40cm, along with a spread of 80cm. In late spring Rhododendron ‘Magic Flute’ produces masses of double purple-pink blooms. This vibrant variety is ideal for injecting a bold shot of colour into acid borders, rockeries and woodlands. 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.
