Rhododendron Hybr.Viscy III

Rhododendron Hybr.Viscy III

An evergreen rhododendron hybrid valued for its leathery green foliage and reliable garden performance. Best in partial shade with shelter from cold, drying winds, it prefers a humus-rich, moist but well-drained, acidic (ericaceous) soil and benefits from mulching with leaf mould or pine needles to keep roots cool. A hardy, moderate grower for woodland-style borders and mixed shrub plantings; avoid chalky soils and water with rainwater where possible in hard-water areas.
