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.
Goldflimmer is another beauty among rhododendrons with variegated leaves. They are deep green with yellow spots and veins in the centre which makes it very attractive all year round. Flowers appear from the end of May until early June. It grows slowly and compact.
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, rich in humus, cool and always moist. Ideal soil mixture is peat with lime-free, light garden soil topped with leave-mould. Use selective fertilizers for rhododendrons only. Hardy to -27°C (USDA zone 5b).
