The 2-inch diameter flowers, held in dense rounded clusters of 15 blooms, are bright red in the bud, opening to a delicious purple-pink, then gradually adding creamy tones to end up a creamy white with a yellow throat. All the colors may be seen simultaneously in the beautiful truss. Making a spectacular and extravagant showing at the height of the rhododendron season, this really is a ‘must-have’ plant. Forming a compact, well-branched bush 3 feet tall in a decade, and double that at maturity, when not in bloom the elegant, 3-inch long leaves are glossy and bright green, creating a splendid evergreen foliage plant. Place it in a prime spot among your rhododendrons and azaleas, in any style of garden, from Asian-themed ones to natural woodlands, and everything in between.

• Multi-colored flower heads with red, pink, cream, and white blossoms
• Striking and gorgeous specimen-quality shrub
• Handsome glossy leaves of mid-green
• Well-branched and rounded medium-sized shrub
• Plant in acidic soils for ideal outcomes

For good results the Percy Wiseman Rhododendron should be planted in a spot with some morning sun, or in light shade – areas beneath open deciduous trees are ideal. It will also grow well in the shade at the foot of a north-facing wall or fence, and in the shadow-zone of larger trees. The soil should be acidic, with a pH value no more than 6.0, and preferably lower. It should be well-drained, but damp and rich, so add plenty of lime-free compost, pine needles, or shredded lime bark when planting. Use more for mulch over the root zone to preserve moisture and keep the soil cool. This plant is hardy in warmer parts of zone 6. It isn’t drought tolerant, so be prepared to water during dry spells, as needed. Deer don’t eat it and it is usually free of pest or disease problems when in suitable soil and light conditions. Pruning or trimming is not recommended.]]> the Percy Wiseman Rhododendron, is among the most gorgeous.

This fades to bright green, with leaves barely 2 inches long on a rounded bush growing to 3 feet in a decade, and double that in time. The flowers are large, almost 3 inches across, in clusters of six, and held horizontally. Flaring and bell-shaped, they are a striking red in bud, opening to bright purplish-pink, and making a vibrant display. This is a great choice for a mid-sized plant in warmer zones, reliably vigorous and full of blooms in the early part of the main rhododendron flowering season, the special coloring and form of this plant makes it a real standout variety.

• Bell-shaped blooms with flaring mouths held horizontally at the ends of the branches
• Bright red buds open to striking purple-pink to red blooms
• New growth that follows the blooms is bright and copper colored
• Compact, mid-sized plant with small, bright green leaves
• Plant in acidic soils for good results

Grow the Whisperingrose Rhododendron in a place with some morning sun, or in the dappled shade beneath tall deciduous trees. It is also ideal at the foot of north-facing walls. Grow it in moist, rich soil that is well-drained, and has a pH value less than 6.0. It isn’t drought tolerant, so water regularly, especially during hot, dry spells. Hardy to zero degrees F, which is zone 7, but could grow in sheltered parts of zone 6 as well. Use lime-free composts to prepare the soil and as mulch to keep the soil cool and damp. Untroubled by deer and generally free of pests or diseases, this plant is toxic to horses and livestock. Best grown without pruning or trimming, but spent flowers can be removed by snapping the flowering shoot just above the topmost leaves.]]> this unique variety has a second act when the new leaves appear, because they are bright, colorful, copper tones.

The leaves are large, up to 8 inches long, and a healthy-looking dark green that reflects the overall vigor of this variety. Bright red flowers, 3 inches across, are carried in dense, rounded trusses of up to 15 buds, making a brilliant show indeed. Perfect for background or filling corners of your garden, when not in bloom it makes an attractive evergreen shrub. It’s large enough to even use as a screen, spacing plants about 6 feet apart – imagine what a glorious sight that would be in full bloom.

• Large, bright red flowers in densely-packed trusses topping every branch
• Large, oval leaves are rich, dark green, making a handsome evergreen
• Vigorous and rapid growing, adding a foot every couple of years
• Adapts well to more sun and heat than most other rhododendrons tolerate
• Grows best in acidic soils

You can plant the Vulcan’s Flame Rhododendron in sunny locations, even full sun in cooler zones. In hot areas some afternoon sun is appreciated, but this variety is heat tolerant and ideal for warm, more sunny parts of your garden. Water frequently when establishing is such places, and don’t allow mature plants to become too dry. The soil should have a pH value of 6.0 or less, and be well-drained but rich and generally moist. In sunny spots use plenty of lime-free mulch over the root zone to keep it cool and damp. Hardy in warmer parts of zone 5, where it should be in a warm, sheltered spot. Ignored by deer and generally free of significant pest or disease problems. Note that it is toxic to horses and livestock.
