Rhododendron 'Percy Wiseman'
yakushimanum rhododendron
Splendid, rounded trusses of funnel-shaped, peach-pink and cream flowers in mid- and late spring, fading to creamy-white, and pale green leaves. This compact, evergreen rhododendron is extremely free-flowering. One of the most popular 'yak' hybrids, 'Percy Wiseman' is suitable for a sunny shrub border with humus-rich, acid soil or a large container filled with ericaceous compost.

How to care for Rhododendron Percy Wiseman:
When planting, avoid planting too deeply, and incorporate well-rotted compost or manure into the planting hole, adding some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment. Rhododendrons prefer an acid soil or ericaceous compost that is well-draining.
Remove spent flower heads regularly to encourage prolonged flowering. In late autumn, after flowering has finished, cut back any dead or damaged growth to maintain a tidy shape. In early spring, prune lightly to remove any winter-damaged stems and to promote strong, healthy new growth.
Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of leaf mould around the base of the plant each spring. Protect from strong winter winds.
