Rhododendrons, azaleas, and mountain laurels Evergreen broadleaf |
Rhododendrons are reliable, beautifully flowering, evergreen shrubs of variable origin: S.W. China, Himalayas, Northern America, and even Europe. The original species were hybridized several times for better performance so in the 1950´s there were more than 10,000 cultivars registered, and the number keeps increasing.
Nova Zembla – another old time favourite among the ironclads, this time with bright purple-red flowers with a deep burgundy blotch. On a good site it can grow taller and wider than 2m.
For richer flowering and growth dead-head where possible. The roots are shallow, spreading to sides in search for nutrients. Never plant them too deep. The soil has to be acidic (pH 4.5-5.5), rich in humus, cool and always moist. Ideal soil mixture is peat with lime-free, light garden soil topped with leave-mould. Fully hardy to -34°C (USDA zone 4).
