CUPCAKE RHODODENDRON 1gal

Transform your garden with the 'Cupcake' Rhododendron, a compact, dome-shaped evergreen that brings a burst of color to any yard. Perfect for USDA Zones 7 and 8, this dwarf variety grows to a manageable 4 feet tall and wide, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens, foundation plantings, or container gardens. Its glossy, dark green leaves provide year-round beauty, but the real showstopper is its display of deep rose-pink, funnel-shaped flowers that appear in early summer. Plant this beauty in a location with dappled or afternoon shade, as it prefers protection from the hot sun. A great benefit of the 'Cupcake' Rhododendron is its natural resistance to deer, ensuring your vibrant blooms are protected.

For the best start, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Blend your garden's native soil with Watters Premium Mulch to create a rich, acidic, well-draining environment that your rhododendron will love. Place the plant so the top of the root ball is at or slightly above soil level. After planting, apply Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to give your new shrub a gentle, steady source of nutrients for robust growth and brilliant blooms.
