Dufthecke - INKARHO® inspires all senses
The INKARHO® Dufthecke is a special advancement of the classic INKARHO® rhododendron.
The name already reveals the special feature of the INKARHO® Dufthecke:
It releases a pleasant, floral fragrance that can vary in intensity depending on location, weather conditions and flowering stage. This impressive floral power makes the INKARHO® Fragrant Hedge a plant that truly engages all the senses. When you purchase an INKARHO® Fragrant Hedge, you will of course benefit not only from its delightful fragrance, but also from the many other outstanding qualities that make our INKARHO® hybrids so remarkable.
We would gladly tell you more about it.
What is the INKARHO® Dufthecke?
The INKARHO® Fragrant Hedge is a special rhododendron variety created through 20 years of dedicated breeding work. Just like a classic rhododendron, the INKARHO® Fragrant Hedge features an abundant bloom that creates clearly visible highlights in the garden. During the flowering period, the plant releases a harmonious, floral scent that perfectly complements its visual impact. The INKARHO® Fragrant Hedge is an excellent choice for anyone who not only wants to enjoy radiantly beautiful flowers but also appreciates a classic floral fragrance.
Unobtrusive, delicate, yet noticeable at any time.
Hint
Depending on the weather and the local insect population, flowering rhododendrons can be visited by pollinators. The fragrance can have an additional attractive effect. The dense, evergreen structure can provide cover (e.g. as a sheltered area in the garden). Whether and to what extent wildlife uses it depends on the location and surroundings.
Planting the INKARHO® Dufthecke as a Hedge
Delicately scented hedge plant
The high-quality, pruning-friendly Rhododendron Dufthecke has the good INKARHO®-Rhododendron qualities of being easy to maintain and growing in almost any loose garden soil. Additionally, it emits an intense fragrance. Thanks to its healthy growth, you will get a blooming and evergreen hedge in no time. The Dufthecke is also a real eye-catcher as a solitary plant in the garden or in a pot on the terrace.
What characterizes the INKARHO® Dufthecke?
In addition to its distinctive fragrance and full blooms, it is primarily the highly uncomplicated and adaptable location and care requirements that stand out with our INKARHO® Dufthecke, as with all our hybrids. Unlike classic rhododendrons, there is no need to maintain a highly specific soil pH. The INKARHO® Dufthecke was bred on calcareous soil and can therefore grow well in various soil conditions within a pH range of approx. 4.5 to 6.5. Furthermore, the INKARHO® Dufthecke is considered hardy and reliable in the garden; as an evergreen beauty, it also provides a few colourful highlights in your garden during the cold, grey or snow-covered months. For the best possible winter hardiness, a well-drained soil and the avoidance of waterlogging are recommended.
If you buy an INKARHO® Dufthecke, you will also have fewer details to worry about when it comes to care:
In practice, fertilising 1–2 times a year is often sufficient (depending on the soil and nutrient status). Watering can usually be done with tap or rainwater; if the tap water is very hard, using rainwater can be advantageous. In addition, the INKARHO® Dufthecke offers you many options for individual landscaping, as it is, for example, highly tolerant of pruning. Therefore, you can easily use the INKARHO® Dufthecke as a solitary plant outdoors or alternatively in a pot or planter. Have you heard that normal rhododendrons make ideal hedging plants? Our INKARHO® Dufthecke can also be used as a dense, evergreen hedging plant. Whether as a hedge or a solitary plant, it creates a true highlight in your garden landscape with its full blooms.
