Rhododendron ‘Orange King’ boasts radiant blooms adorned with subtle orange-red freckles. These vibrant flowers emerge in May, contrasting beautifully against the rich, dark green foliage. This evergreen Azalea features a tidy, bushy growth habit, staying compact and easy to manage as it matures. It’s an excellent choice for containers and ericaceous borders, providing year-round interest and structure. Height and spread: 75cm (30″). Since plant size varies with the seasons, we list by pot size rather than a fixed plant dimension. The height and spread at delivery will differ based on the season, so images of the plant’s arrival are for reference only. The glowing blooms of Rhododendron ‘Orange King’ are delicately freckled with orange-red markings. The bright blooms are borne in May, standing out nicely from the glossy, dark green foliage. 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.
