In addition to being a very sturdy and hardy shrub that can tolerate the extremes of the South. Grace produces abundant clusters of deep pink buds followed by large ruffled white blooms. The large blooms appear as the spring temperatures warm. Very lustrous medium to dark green leaves are another feature of this amazing shrub that fits perfectly in to any woodland garden or any other area of the landscape that gets dappled to part shade. The Southgate® Rhododendron are very disease, fungus and insect tolerant...no wonder they're becoming a staple addition to the Southern Garden.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Southgate® Rhododendrons were bred in southern Louisiana to thrive in the heat and humidity of Deep South, as well as other traditional Rhododendron areas. We've trialed them for several years now in our central Georgia gardens and they've outperformed all other rhododendron we've attempted (unsuccessfully) to grow.

We wouldn't usually recommend a Rhododendron for home foundation plantings but have no problem doing so with the super-hardy Southgates! They do especially well on fertile embankments, hillsides and slopes. Can also be grown in large pots, planters and other containers with a diameter of 18 inches or more. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  4' for solid hedges;  8' or more for space between plants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Measure Total Square Feet Of A Planting Area \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Rhododendron is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy growing it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhen it comes to success growing Rhododendrons, a little good advice goes a long way.

All day dappled shade is fine as well. Keep in mind that whether growing in the ground or in containers, constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic for Rhododnedrons, and most other plants for that matter. Some soils, such as heavy clay, quick-draining sand, or otherwise poor soils, might need to be amended to provide sufficient nutrients, better soil drainage, and\/or moisture retention. In containers, select a pot with a drainage hole(s) and use a 50\/50 blend of professional potting mix and potting soil. Avoid using any native soil in pots.
