Rhododendron Alex Holmes

Rhododendron Alex Holmes Details

Rhododendron Alex Holmes is a smaller variety that features large trusses of light pink flowers in spring. It is reasonably fast growing with an erect growth habit, bearing dark green leaves that complement the flowers nicely. It typically grows to 1 m tall and the same wide, performing best when grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frosts but should be protected from harsh frosts when young. When fertilising, avoid using lime as this will stunt or even kill plants. Rhododendron Alex Holmes is a great choice for adding to a mixed planting, maintaining in a container, using in cottage gardens, or growing as a small specimen.
