How to grow Rhododendron 'Pink Pearl' in NZ

Rhododendron 'Pink Pearl' grows best in a position with filtered sunlight or partial shade and soil that is moist, acidic, and free draining. Enrich the planting area with organic matter before planting to improve soil structure and moisture retention. Water regularly while the shrub is establishing and during extended dry periods. Avoid lime rich soils and exposed windy locations. Applying mulch around the base helps maintain soil moisture and keeps the roots cool through the warmer months.
