Rhododendron 'Karen Triplett'

Rhododendrons are evergreen or deciduous shrubs for acidic soils. They’re grown primarily for their showy spring flowers that come in a range of colours from purple and pink through to red and yellow. The foliage of some varieties is covered in a dense woolly covering (called indumentum) and deciduous varieties have fantastic autumn colour.

Grow Rhododendron ‘Karen Triplett’ in a sheltered site in in dappled shade, planting in moist but well-drained, acid soil, ideally of a pH ranging from 4.5 to 6. Once established, there should be little or no need to prune.
