Dandy Man Color Wheel® Rhododendron is an evergreen shrub with a mounding habit and leathery dark green foliage. Its large clusters of lipstick red buds open to ruffled light pink flowers with darker pink backs that age to clean white in late spring, with all three colors able to be seen at once. A very versatile plant that prefers partial sun, to full shade particularly in hot climates, with acidic rich, well-drained soils.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance. Moderate water needs, properly drained soils is a must to avoid root rot. Mulch helps to keep roots from drying out. Keep away from drip lines of the walnut family. Acidify soils as needed (PH range of 5 to 6.5) Southern climates with excessive humidity are more prone to powdery mildew, twig blights, and rust. Azaleas are prone to many diseases and pest problems, but the proper environment and care should negate most of them.
