Plant description
Rounded green leaves, which have a copper flush when young, offer year-roud interest. It's in mid- to late spring however that this rhododendron really dazzles, as that's when the clusters of orange buds open to gently ruffled yellow flowers, many of which have a hint of apricot on their petals. An award-winning variety, Rhododendron 'Nancy Evans' makes a sublime addition to a partially shaded border.

How to care for Rhododendron Nancy Evans:
When planting, avoid planting too deeply, and incorporate well-rotted compost or manure into the planting hole, adding some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment. Rhododendrons prefer an acid soil or ericaceous compost that is well-draining.
Remove spent flower heads regularly to encourage prolonged flowering. In late autumn, after flowering has finished, cut back any dead or damaged growth to maintain a tidy shape. In early spring, prune lightly to remove any winter-damaged stems and to promote strong, healthy new growth.
Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of leaf mould around the base of the plant each spring. Protect from strong winter winds.
