Maybe the Rhododendron is bigger than it looks in the photo but even so at 5 ft that is not what I personally would call large and the person has...
As you live in Edinburgh you are 99.9% likely to have acidic soil so that is at least a bonus. If you really want to try and save the Rhododendron...
The above certainly looks like a Lacecap to me and very pretty too. I grow quite a few and if I pruned mine in the spring I would get zero flowers...

I have been given some rather nice variegated Bamboo to contribute to plants I sell for charity. It grows about 4 ft tall and is not a thug! It...
I have only just sowed mine in a heated propagator, sowed them yesterday, so quite a bit too late as with our shorter season I should really have...
Apart from bulbs I don’t buy anything online these days. I did buy a couple of plants from Crocus which were quite specialised and needed to have...
