Good to know

We aim to offer an interesting range of sundries to ensure that your chosen plants get off to the best possible start in your garden. Plant them properly with the right products, and they will reward you well for years to come!  Add some of these essentials when you place your order.

Composts -  Excellent quality and value. A far better professional quality compost than anything offered by the main garden compost suppliers. Our compost has proper aeration and drainage, and is not milled to dust like so many other composts

Fertilizer - We tried the lot, and now we have commissioned our own slow-release fertilizer which we use on the nursery with great results, as it has all the right ingredients for ericaceous plants! We also offer a range of ‘curative’ fertilizers to correct deficiencie

Natural tonics and controls - We have sourced some really good professional grade organic products that work, and that we use on our nursery with good results. These help to keep your plants in tip-top condition.

Tools - Everyone needs a new pair of gloves, secateurs and some good tools from time to time. We list some quality products at a good price.

The Basics

Ideal soil

Acidic soil, good organic content, pH 4.5-6.0. Inkarho range of rhododendrons will tolerate soils up to pH7.5

Sun or Shade

Light dappled shade is best for most varieties.

Shelter

Refer to hardiness rating. Give young plants protection.

Site Selection

Avoid close to trees, roots, invasive weeds, walls, hot patios, dry banks and waterlogged soils. Do not use weed matting or stone mulch.

Plant spacing

Use the height shown in 10 years as a guide to the distance between each plant. Allow room for plant to fill out. If planting closer for instant impact, be prepared to move plants after a few years.

Compost

  • 3 litre pot, dig in 10-20 litres of ericaceous compost.
  • 7.5 litre pot, dig in 20-30 litres of ericaceous compost.
  • 70-80cm specimen, dig in 60 litres of ericaceous compost.
  • 100-120cm specimen, dig in 120 litres of ericaceous compost.

Planting depth

Plant high in the ground, with the top of the rootball visible.

Feeding

Slow-release ericaceous feed recommended in March and straight after flowering.

Mulch

Recommended every few years.

Water

The key ingredient! Keep moist all season, especially the critical time at end of June for flower bud initiation. Tap water is better than no water. Heavy dose at least once per week in dry weather.

Drainage

Ensure good drainage in winter, especially with yellow flowering varieties. Avoid waterlogged sites.

Pruning

Rhododendrons and Camellias: Not normally required. Tidy wayward shoots after flowering.

Evergreen azaleas and Bloombux can be clipped into a low hedge.

Magnolias and Acers: Formative pruning when young to shape into a tree or bush.

Deadheading

Remove old flower-heads, particularly on young or weak plants.
