One of the great advantages of the Rhododendron (Simsii Grp) Hortinno Classic Rouge is that it is not very demanding when it comes to soil fertility. This means that even those with less-than-ideal soil conditions can still enjoy the beauty of this plant. However, it does prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH of 4.5-6.5.

In terms of its physical characteristics, the Rhododendron (Simsii Grp) Hortinno Classic Rouge has elongated, elliptic or oval-shaped leaves that are a dark green color. The leaf surface is hairy, adding texture and interest to the overall appearance of the plant. The leaves themselves are relatively small, ranging from 2-3 cm in size.

The flowers of this rhododendron variety have a diameter of 4.5-5 cm, making them a prominent feature of the plant. They are unicolored, meaning that the entire flower is the same shade of pink-medium purple-red. This creates a bold and striking visual impact. The flowers are slightly doubled, creating a fuller and more luxurious look.

When it comes to light requirements, the Rhododendron (Simsii Grp) Hortinno Classic Rouge thrives in semi-shaded or sunny conditions. It can tolerate a range of light conditions but will perform best when it receives at least partial sunlight. Placing it in a location where it can get a few hours of direct sunlight each day will help to optimize its growth and flowering potential.

In terms of soil type, this rhododendron prefers humus-rich soil. Humus is organic matter that has decomposed over time and is rich in nutrients. There are several ways to improve the humus content of your soil, such as adding compost or well-rotted manure. By doing so, you can create the ideal growing conditions for the Rhododendron (Simsii Grp) Hortinno Classic Rouge.

In conclusion, the Rhododendron (Simsii Grp) Hortinno Classic Rouge is a beautiful and relatively low-maintenance plant that will add a touch of elegance to any garden. With its slightly doubled, unicolored flowers in a pink-medium purple-red shade, it is sure to be a showstopper. Whether you have slightly acidic soil or need to make some adjustments to your soil's pH, this rhododendron variety will thrive as long as the soil is humus-rich. Plant it in a semi-shaded or sunny location, and you will be rewarded with a stunning display of color and beauty.
