Rhododendron Olga
I have planted some Olga rhododendrons in two beds around my house. horticulturist made a plan for me and she liked them for some reason. They bloom beautifuly in early spring but after that, until about July they look very sad. Their old leaves from winter are dark and dry looking and the new leaves are slow to come in. The debris from the flowers is hanging on for a long time. I regret planting them there, now that I have to look at that mess so often..
Anyway, is there anyway I can help them look better? I did add fertilizer to the soil in the spring. One of them was almost decapitated by mistake, and on the one remaining branch it put out happy new growth very fast. Should I prune them? Fertilize more? Water more?
One of the clumps is in more shade than the other - it does not seem to make a big difference...
Thanks for any ideas,
Anda
