Lime Tolerant Rhododendrons

Lime Tolerant Rhododendrons

These are the plants which we featured at last year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show, and were mentioned by David Millais on the BBC2 Chelsea Preview. Interest from new customers around the country has been exceptional, and gardeners have been delighted to learn that they can now grow their favourite plants on most garden soils.

The revolutionary new "Inkarho" lime tolerant rootstock is particularly recommended for growing Rhododendrons on neutral clay soils, up to pH7. This patented rootstock was developed from a Rhododendron growing in a German lime quarry, and has been the subject of an extensive 20 year breeding and testing programme. These plants are grown under licence in Germany, and enable choice hardy hybrids and yakushimanum varieties to be grafted on the rootstock and grown in a much wider range of soil types than ever before. They are hungry plants and will benefit from more feeding than other Rhododendrons. We recommend Miracle Gro Slow Release Rhododendron Plant Food and plenty of good Ericaceous compost for best performance.
