PETITTI How To Prune Rhododendron

As we approach the mid-summer mark in July, it’s time to start pruning spring-blooming shrubs. One of our favorite, gorgeous spring-bloomers, Rhododendron, is also a hot topic when it comes to pruning. Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist and Education Director with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about how to properly prune Rhododendron to ensure beautiful new growth for the coming years. As with all pruning, we highly recommend applying a good dose of fertilizer around the drip line of the plant. For Rhododendrons, we recommend using Holy-tone to help provide nutrients and energy back into the root system as the plant sets new buds for the next year.
