General Care

  • Sunlight: Prefers part shade
  • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots and support healthy growth; once established, requires minimal supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
  • Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering if shaping is needed
  • Site Selection: Best planted on the north or east side of a building to provide protection from harsh afternoon sun and winter winds

With its refined evergreen foliage, stunning pink blooms, and satisfying compact form, Rhododendron Dorothy Swift is a grand addition to shaded landscapes, offering color, structure, and seasonal brilliance year after year.
