Rhododendron (Azalea Varieties)

Any advice on where to plant and how to look after an Azalea and Hebe please 😁 @teamgardentags

I know that they would do really well in your raised beds or pots. They need part-time sun and well draining good soil. Fall is good planting time or spring. I do not have experience with Hebes. 🍀🍀🍀 @stephmered @gjones

I know azaleas have shallow roots and do really good in pots or raised beds. If in the ground the need part-time sun with good draining soil. I don't have any experience with Hebes.🍀💚🍀💚 Thanks for the shout out @gjones

@stephmered Azaleas need to be in ericaceous compost too which is easily available at the garden centres. If you google 'ericaceous compost' you'll get the picture! 😀💟 lovely plants.

@stephmered Hebes aren't fussy, they will grow anywhere - I have 1 North facing n 1 South facing - they just seem to get on with it. They are evergreen and have flowers in Summer and Autumn. Again have a Google 😀 Good luck 💚

@anges Thank you so much ☺️

@stephmered You're welcome. Hebe like sun/part shade (not full shade) 😊

Keep at it you are doing great.... You will get the bug and us lot on G'tags will always help with advice 😉. @stephmered

@anges @columbiariver @lcgardens Thank you for your help and advice, I really appreciate it 😚 I definitely have the bug! Going to the local garden centre and Morrisons today to see what I can find ☺️
