Rhododendrons- a familiar, beautiful plant found in many gardens and forests in the Pacific Northwest. In the world of Chilliwack landscaping, these reliable plants add a subtle charm in our yards.
Interesting fact- azaleas are, in fact, a type of rhododendron.
Living in the Fraser Valley means ample rain showers, and rhododendrons are well-equipped to handle them. They thrive in wet conditions, providing a subtle burst of color even on gloomy days!
While rhododendrons love moisture, they do not like waterlogged soil. Water deeply but less frequently to prevent root rot, especially during drier periods. Provide a balanced, acidic fertilizer in spring after the first sign of growth.
