RHODODENDRONS 
Not in lim/id soil 
Rhododendrons are the most beautiful of all plants. Their deep green leaves, often 
glossy, are very striking. Rhododendrons grow broad, bushy and dense, making large 
rounding clumps when mature. The flowers range through many colors and are often very 
large. 
Rhododendrons will thrive in any soil that will grow good vegetables, but will not 
grow on a lime soil. Although they like plenty of water they should not be planted where 
surface water collects. They do best when planted in partial shade such as on the north 
side of buildings and under trees. For the first two or three years they should be protected 
in winter by sticking pine boughs in the ground and slanting the boughs over the plants 
or by making a frame around them and covering the top and sides of the frame with burlap. 
Mulching the ground is beneficial. Pinch off all flowers as soon as they begin to wilt to 
insure next season's bloom.
