Thompson & Morgan Rhododendron 'George Hyde' is a spectacular variety, named for the renowned Rhododendron and Azalea hybridist, Rhododendron 'George Hyde'. Large, semi-double blooms with a distinctly frilly appearance cover the plant from top to bottom in May. This exquisite evergreen Azalea has a neat, compact habit that is nicely suited to containers. Grow this evergreen shrub in the rockery or at the front of an acid border where it will require virtually no maintenance. Choose a position in semi or dappled shade with shelter from cold drying winds. Grow Thompson & Morgan Rhododendron 'George Hyde' in moist, well drained, acid soil that has been enriched with plenty of well-rotted organic matter. Many dwarf Rhododendrons can cope with a sunny position provided that the soil remains reliably moist. Where soil conditions are alkaline, Rhododendron plants are best grown in patio containers, using a mix of ericaceous compost and a soil-based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Rhododendrons are surface-rooting, so it is important to avoid planting them too deeply. Water regularly throughout the growing season. Where possible, use rainwater as the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidity in the soil over time. Feed Rhododendrons in spring with a slow release fertiliser for acid-loving plants. Protect plants from cold winter winds. If grown in a border plants will appreciate an autumn mulch to protect their shallow roots from winter cold. Take care not to mound the mulch too close to the stem as this may cause it to rot. If necessary, lightly prune in June to remove damaged shoots and restrict size.
