Rhododendron, Midnight

Rhododendron 'Midnight' is a captivating species known for its striking dark purple flowers that resemble the depths of a moonlit night. This evergreen shrub boasts glossy, leathery leaves and forms a compact, rounded shape, making it a delightful addition to gardens and landscapes.

To successfully grow Rhododendron 'Midnight', provide it with partial shade to protect it from intense sunlight. The soil should be well-draining, acidic (pH 4.5-6), and rich in organic matter. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, while ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.

Mulching around the base helps conserve moisture and regulates soil temperature. Pruning after flowering will maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Fertilize with a balanced rhododendron or azalea fertilizer in spring to promote healthy development.

Rhododendron 'Midnight' typically reaches a height of around 1.2 to 1.8mt, making it a moderately sized shrub for your garden.
