The Rhododendron blossom looks spectacular in spring and follows along from the equally splendid Magnolias. Rhododendrons in bloom form large swathes of colour from white through pink to red, purple, even orange. Visit the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show in July to find expert nurseries specialising in rare and unusual Rhododendrons. Look for expert growing advice here and see our range of easy-to-grow and dwarf varieties suitable for small gardens. Although rhododendrons prefer a slightly acid soil, they can easily be grown in containers if your soil is not suitable – use ericacious compost and Ericaceous Fertiliser.
