Rhododendron from INKARHO®
 

Easydendron®, Dufthecke, HAPPYdendron®, Bloombux®, and Grazeasy® as easy-care variants

A rhododendron stands out for its uniquely striking flowers, which are forever etched in the memory of anyone who has seen a rhododendron once. However, the lush blossom splendor of a rhododendron doesn't just come naturally; for the plant from the heath family is exceedingly demanding when it comes to rhododendron care. This starts with the soil conditions, which typically need to be optimally tailored to a rhododendron's needs. If the location and care are not perfect, the rhododendron may not develop beautiful growth, its leaf color might not be so healthy, and the rhododendron flowers would not be as numerous.

An improvement are our Easydendron®, INKARHO® Dufthecke, HAPPYdendron®, Bloombux® and Grazeasy®, which grow on nearly any humus-rich garden soil and are particularly robust and easy to care for as special cultivars. Why you should definitely get to know these special rhododendrons and what our Bloombux® Rhododendron has to do with a boxwood, we are happy to explain on our website.

Anyone who wants to plant a rhododendron and, for example, benefit from the sight of large-flowered alpine roses in their own garden, should first carefully examine the soil conditions and location requirements: An ordinary rhododendron is demanding in terms of care, location, and pruning. To ensure optimal gardening success with a rhododendron, individual points concerning care and location should be taken into consideration. Rhododendrons should generally be planted in lime-free rhododendron soil, and a rather shady to semi-shady spot should be selected. A location without waterlogging should be sought to prevent rhododendron diseases and pests from spreading rapidly.

Our INKARHO® rhododendrons are significantly less demanding when it comes to rhododendron location: The INKARHO® rhododendron has been bred over many years to be classified as a lime-tolerant variety. This makes the INKARHO® rhododendron very flexible regarding location and soil conditions: This rhododendron is lime-tolerant and adapts to almost any humus rich garden soil. Higher pH levels also do not harm the INKARHO® rhododendron. Furthermore, the INKARHO® rhododendron has a much stronger root system, which makes it more robust overall, improves nutrient uptake, and promotes optimized and even stronger flower growth. Due to its better flexibility regarding location, the INKARHO® rhododendron is less susceptible to pests and diseases, saving you time and effort in maintenance. Like many other shrubs, the INKARHO® rhododendron should not be planted in waterlogged soils but preferably in an aerated soil. The best planting time for rhododendrons is in autumn from early September to mid-November, as the plants can still form roots in the warm soil. Planting is also possible in spring from February to May, provided the ground is no longer frozen.

INKARHO® Rhododendrons are also different in this respect:
When you fertilize the INKARHO® Rhododendron, you should be aware that the plants have a higher nutrient consumption due to the strongly developed root system and the abundance of flowers. Therefore, even the INKARHO® Rhododendron cannot do without fertilization. In fact, it is sufficient to fertilize INKARHO® Rhododendrons once in spring and once after flowering. The fertilizer application can be a bit more generous. The rest of the year, it is enough to water regularly to allow the rhododendron to grow and thrive excellently. Incidentally, INKARHO® Rhododendrons also tolerate strong rhododendron pruning very well even when they are old!

Many rhododendron diseases, pests, and bud blight can particularly affect a rhododendron when it is not maintained under the right growing conditions. Unfavourable soil or light conditions, waterlogging, or nutrient deficiencies, as well as improper pruning, can lead to rhododendron pests and diseases gradually attacking the plant, resulting in the rhododendron in your garden no longer being a visual delight.

Due to its robust nature, flexibility in terms of rhododendron location, and strong root system, the INKARHO® rhododendrons have proven to be significantly less sensitive to pests and diseases.

One particular exception among the robust rhododendrons is our Bloombux®:
Visually, it resembles a classic boxwood, but in reality, it is a special type of rhododendron cultivated by our experts. As a result, the Bloombux® is completely resistant to all typical boxwood diseases and pests and becomes a true highlight in any garden, with or without pruning.
