Rhododendron 'Tapestry'

Rhododendron 'Tapestry' is one of the hardier rhododendrons. It has deep purple flowers with a striking maroon blotch on the throat, and dark, glossy foliage. A compact variety, it’s as suited to growing in containers as it is in a border, and works particularly well in small gardens.

Grow Rhododendron ‘Tapestry’ in partial shade. Plant in humus-rich, moist but well-drained neutral to acidic soil (or peat-free ericaceous compost). Rhododendrons are shallow-rooted so take care not to plant too deeply. Protect from harsh winter winds and mulch annually with a generous layer of leaf mould. There should be little or no need to prune.
