Rhododendrons are superb for home plantings, whether large or small.
They require little care. Rhododendrons and azaleas are shallow rooted and should not be planted too deeply. The heavier the soil, the shallower the plantings. Select a location where they are somewhat protected from drying winds and hot, afternoon sun. A cool, moist acid soil is ideal, particularly one that contains a high percentage of organic matter to retain moisture.
