‘Chipmunk’ is a striking Rhododendron, that blooms from April until May. It generates a profusion of bright pink, trumpet-shaped flowers, that smother a compact, neat growing habit of glossy green foliage. Perfect for planting in woodland and low maintenance gardening schemes, it also looks wonderful in modern patio pots and colourful borders. Happy to grow in semi shade, watch it progress to a height of 60cm, along with a spread of 75cm. Neatly compact and evergreen, Rhododendron ‘Chipmunk’ is the perfect container shrub! In late spring, a profusion of small, bright pink flowers contrast beautifully with the glossy, dark green leaves. 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.
