#ProPlantTips For Care

Elite PJM loves the part shade and dappled sun areas, needing afternoon shade when planted in the hottest climates. Cold hardy in growing zones 4-8, the cooler climates allow PJM to handle full sun.

Appreciating organically rich, well-drained soil, with consistent moisture, Elite PJM prefers slightly acidic soil. It's perfectly suited to plant around evergreens.

A generous layer of mulch over the root system holds in water and keeps the roots insulated from both heat and the chill. Rhododendron also benefits from protection from cold, dry winter winds. Planting by a fenceline or closer to your home to keep Elite PJM looking its best.

Like other Rhododendrons, Elite PJM shouldn't need much pruning, but if necessary, it is best to prune right after its finished blooming.
