{"product_id":"dandy-man-color-wheel-r-rhododendron","title":"Dandy Man Color Wheel® Rhododendron","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuds start red, open to pink, and fade to white, so the plant carries three colors at once through the bloom. This Proven Winners® selection, \u003cem\u003eRhododendron\u003c\/em\u003e 'NCRX1', sold as Dandy Man Color Wheel®, grows 4 to 8 feet tall and wide in part sun to part shade, hardy from Zone 5 through Zone 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe color shift plays out over several weeks as newer flowers open behind the fading ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe large-leaf rhododendrons hold their foliage year-round rather than thinning like the small-leaved types. Below about 25 degrees the leaves droop and curl up, curling tighter the colder it gets, and they open again within hours once temperatures rise. It looks alarming the first winter and it is entirely normal, a water-conserving response rather than a sign of trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt resists root rot and leaf spot, and the size range is wide enough that placement matters: given room it reaches eight feet. Acidic soil is necessary, roughly pH 4.5 to 6.0, with good drainage and steady moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proven Winners®","offers":[{"title":"#2 Pot","offer_id":52920868143379,"sku":"1012146","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#3 Pot","offer_id":52920868176147,"sku":"1011023","price":81.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/8224\/2835\/files\/rhododendron-dandy-man-color-wheel-spotswood.jpg?v=1789084449","url":"https:\/\/spotswoodgreenery.com\/products\/dandy-man-color-wheel-r-rhododendron","provider":"Spotswood Greenery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
