Best planted in light shade but will tolerate full sun, although this is not reccommened in south facing gardens in southern areas of the country. Rhododendron are an easily maintained plant that require no pruning. Rhododendron are lime hating plants, lime soil stunts growth and prevents flowering. To ensure a good growing and flowering plant only plant in acid soil or ericaceous compost in light dappled shade. 

Always ensure Rhododendron are planted in acidic soil, they will not do well in lime soil. To keep acid levels high try adding sulphate of iron to the planting area this will keep acid levels high. For pot planting ericaceous compost only. Not always possibe but in hard water areas of the UK try watering usuing recycled rainwater. Extremely hardy to -10 and beyond these plants require winter protection in the coldest areas only. When planting do not plant to deep Rhododendron are classed as surface rooting plants so ideally plant with the roots just covered.
