Rhododendron 'Molten Gold' - variegated rhododendron

Variegated Rhododendron photographed on January 23rd

 Rhododendron Molten Gold, is one of the larger flowering types with purple red flower. the main attraction of this shrub is the fact that it has bright golden variegation - not normal for Rhododendrons.

It will need an acid soil, and for best foliage colour planted in light - not dense - shade with dappled sunlight.

Pruning
Any pruning is best carried our immediately after flowering. It can be pruned quite hard to keep it to manageable size if required. Mulch and feed with bone meal or other organic slow acting feed.

Surface rooted like most Rhododendrons, the mulch will help to keep the foliage 'alert' and not suffer from summer droughts.
