To successfully grow Rhododendron 'Mrs G W Leak', provide it with dappled or filtered sunlight, as direct sun exposure can scorch the leaves. The soil should be acidic (pH 4.5-6), well-draining, and rich in organic matter. Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry periods, while avoiding waterlogged conditions.

Applying a layer of organic mulch around the base helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Prune after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Fertilize in spring with a rhododendron or azalea-specific fertilizer to promote healthy development.

Rhododendron 'Mrs G W Leak' typically grows to a height of around 1.2 to 1.8mt, making it a moderate-sized shrub suitable for borders, hedges, or as a focal point in your garden. Its vibrant blooms and lush foliage will surely enhance the beauty of your outdoor space.
