Yaku Princess Rhododendron - Shipped

Yaku Princess Rhododendron is a compact mounded evergreen shrub with thick, glossy dark green foliage that has velvety undersides.  The large clusters of rich pink buds open to blushed white flowers that clear to pure white and bloom in mid spring.  A very versatile plant that prefers morning or partial sun with rich, well-drained acidic soils.  Type:  Shrub Height:  3’ - 4’ Spread:  4’ - 5’ Spacing:  4’ USDA Hardiness Zone:  5 - 9 Culture:  Part Sun Bloom Color:  Pink/White Season of Interest:  Spring, Year-Round MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  A low maintenance plant.  Moderate water needs, properly drained soils is a must to avoid root rot.  Mulch helps to keep roots from drying out. Keep away from drip lines of the walnut family. Acidify soils as needed (PH range of 5 to 6.5) Can use sulfur or iron sulfate to lower ph, and lime or limestone to raise PH. Buds grow on old growth in winter, so if need to prune do so after the spring bloom.  Sout
