Rhododendron...

My mam has a Rhododendron Silver Edge Ponticum Variegatum (what it said on the lable!) Well it has started to wilt and curl in some places some leaves have went a little bit brown on the ends too. Can you give any suggestions what we can do?

Thanks

 

can you uncurl a leaf and check if anything is inside it

 

xsxa Depends on size of plant or position,could it be wind burn or drying out, apart from the obvious ...Steve mentioned

Ladibird

 

Yes you can uncurl it but there is no bugs or anything. My mamn checked that 1st

 

Ladybirds ideas could be right, it might be to prevent water loss
