Product description
Rhododendron ‘Harvest Moon’ is a deciduous shrub that brings seasonal colour to any garden. In late spring, it produces clusters of creamy yellow flowers that stand out in borders, beds, or patio pots. While it drops its leaves in winter, its neat, rounded shape keeps the garden looking tidy, and the bare branches provide a subtle sculptural interest until the next growing season. This is a straightforward shrub that adds colour and structure without any fuss.
Caring for ‘Harvest Moon’ is simple. Plant it in full sun or partial shade in well-draining soil and mulch in spring to keep the roots happy. Remove spent flowers to encourage fresh blooms next season and apply a slow-release fertiliser if you want an extra boost. Hardy and low-maintenance, this flowering shrub rewards you with cheerful spring blooms and dramatic autumn colour.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Avoid planting Rhododendrons too deep; the root crown should be slightly above soil level to prevent rot.
How to Water
Water Rhododendrons regularly, especially in dry periods. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Mulch around the base to help retain moisture and prevent weeds.
How to Plant
Plant Rhododendrons in a partially shaded spot with acidic, well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and place the plant, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.
