Rhododendron President Roosevelt

Rhododendron President Roosevelt Details

Rhododendron President Roosevelt is a popular variety that features large and showy trusses of rose-pink and white flowers in late spring. It is reasonably fast growing with an erect growth habit, bearing lush foliage that is variegated dark green and cream. This evergreen shrub typically grows to 1.2 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 President Roosevelt is a great choice for adding to a mixed planting, planting as a backdrop for smaller plants, including in cottage gardens, maintaining in a container, or growing as a small specimen.
