Azalea Johanna 2 Litre Potted Plant x 2
Description
Thompson & Morgan Rhododendron ‘Johanna’ will add a splash of colour to your borders, with large, carmine-red flowers in May offset perfectly against a background of glossy evergreen leaves. Awarded an RHS AGM for its garden performance, this neat little evergreen Azalea is the perfect choice for a patio container where it will provide year round colour and structure. It can be grown in borders and rockeries in areas with acid soil, and makes a lovely addition to woodland style gardens. Grow Thompson & Morgan Rhododendron ‘Johanna’ in moist, well-drained, acidic soil that has been enriched with plenty of well-rotted organic material. Choose a sheltered position in semi or dappled-shade, away from cold, drying winds. Many dwarf Rhododendrons can cope with a sunny position as long as the soil remains moist. For alkaline soils, Rhododendrons are best grown in patio containers using a mix of ericaceous and soil based composts. Thompson & Morgan Rhododendrons are surface rooting, so take care not to plant them too deeply. Water Thompson & Morgan Rhododendrons regularly throughout their growing season and, where possible, use rainwater as tap water may reduce the acidity in the soil over time. Feed in spring with a slow-release fertiliser for acid-loving plants, and protect from cold winds during winter. Rhododendrons grown in borders will appreciate mulching in autumn to protect their shallow roots from cold. When mulching, take care not to mound up around the stem as this may cause rot. Lightly prune Thompson & Morgan Rhododendrons in June where necessary to remove damaged shoots and restrict size.
