RHODODENDRON, UNKNOWN WARRIOR 
RHODODENDRON, PINK PEARL 
CAPITAL'S RHODODENDRONS 
Rhododendrons are easy to grow, and stand extremes of heat and 
cold much better than most people believe. There are just three 
important rules to follow in planting and caring for these lovely 
shrubs. One: Provide some shade; planting under trees is best. 
Two: Maintain an acid soil condition. Three: Provide ample moisture 
through frequent watering and by use of a peat mulch on the top 
of the soil. 
Since these are naturally woodland plants, create as near woodland 
conditions as you can by incorporating sand, peat moss, or leaf mold

in the ground at planting time to make a loose, loamy, well-drained 
spot. When you fertilize, which you should do in early spring and 
again early in the fall, use an acid type fertilizer. Water freely when 
fertilizing. 
Overhead sprinkling is a good method of watering these plants, 
since they like to have water on their foliage. But don’t sprinkle 
in the heat of the day when the sun is directly on the leaves. A 
peat mulch will help keep the surface of the soil around the roots 
moist between irrigations.
