Rhododendron 'Loderi Pink Coral'

One of several rhododendrons bred by Sir Edmund Loder, Rhododendron ’Loderi Pink Coral' bears delightful pink flowers with an incredibly strong fragrance, in early May. Blooms open a deep pink but quickly mature to pale pink-white. A tall-growing variety, it’s ideal for growing at the back of a large ornamental border, or on its own as a central focal point.

Grow Rhododendron ’Loderi Pink Coral' in humus-rich, moist but well-drained neutral to acidic soil. Rhododendrons are shallow-rooted so take care not to plant too deeply. Protect from harsh winter winds and mulch annually with a generous layer of leaf mould. There should be little or no need to prune.
