This dwarf, hardy and compact duo of Rhododendrons are perfect for brightening up even the smallest patio corner, mixed border or planted at the edge of a woodland area.

Awarded a prestigious RHS AGM, Rhododendron 'Gristede' is a compact variety with a neat growth habit. This dwarf evergreen Rhododendron produces a prolific display of purple, funnel shaped blooms in April that virtually covers the dark evergreen foliage. Rhododendron 'Ramapo' is a particularly tough variety, hardy in very low temperatures, and even tolerating full sun. The mauve flowers appear from April above attractive blue-green foliage which remains evergreen in winter.

This duo is made up of Rhododendron 'Gristede' and Rhododendron 'Ramapo'. Height: 75cm (30"). Spread: 100cm (39").

Rhododendron plants require an acid soil. If you don't have acid soil, simply plant them in patio containers. When growing Rhododendron in patio containers, use a mix of ericaceous compost and a soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Repot the plant at its original soil level and firm well into the new container. Water well and position in dappled or semi shade. Alternatively, if you are gardening on acid soil, plant Rhododendron directly into borders in a sheltered, shaded position in moist, well drained soil.

Water regularly throughout the growing season. Where possible, use rainwater as the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidity in the soil over time. Feed regularly with fertiliser for acid-loving plants. Protect plants from cold winter winds. Border grown Rhododendrons will appreciate an autumn mulch to protect their shallow roots from winter cold. Take care not to mound the mulch too close to the stem as this may cause it to rot. Rhododendrons require little pruning other than to maintain their shape. Lightly trim stems if necessary in June.
