Average size

This particular variety of Rhododendron, known as 'Roseum Elegans', typically grows to be 6-10 feet tall with a spread of 6-8 feet.

Planting

Proper soil conditions are crucial for the healthy growth of a Rhododendron 'Roseum Elegans'. This plant thrives in acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 6. If your soil is not naturally acidic, you can amend it with organic matter such as peat moss, composted pine bark, or well-rotted leaf mold. When planting, dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper than the root ball itself. Gently loosen the roots of the plant before placing it in the center of the hole at the same depth it was in its container. Using the amended soil mixture, backfill the hole and gently firm it around the roots. Be sure to apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant, keeping it away from the stem. This will help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain a consistent soil temperature. After planting, water deeply to settle the soil and continue to water regularly,
