Rhododendron impeditum Saint Merryn I

<h2>Rhododendron impeditum Saint Merryn I</h2> <p>A compact, slow-growing dwarf evergreen rhododendron forming a neat mound of small leaves. In mid to late spring it carries clusters of purple, funnel-shaped blooms, making it ideal for the front of borders, rock gardens and containers with ericaceous compost. Grow in acidic, humus-rich, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in partial shade, avoiding lime and strong midday sun; shelter from cold, drying winds for best results.</p> <strong>Position:</strong> <span>Partial shade (dappled light)</span> <strong>Rate of Growth:</strong> <span>Slow</span> <strong>Soil:</strong> <span>Acid, humus-rich, moist but well-drained</span> <strong>Hardiness:</strong> <span>Fully hardy</span> <strong>Jan</strong> <strong>Feb</strong> <strong>Mar</strong> <strong>Apr</strong> <strong>May</strong> <strong>Jun</strong> <strong>Jul</strong> <strong>Aug</strong> <strong>Sep</strong> <strong>Oct</strong> <st
