What are the best growing conditions for rhododendrons?

Shrubs need six hours of sun daily. If you live in the warmer end of their growing zones, be sure you choose a site that gets afternoon shade. Soil should be well-drained, moist, and acidic (pH 4.5 to 6). Rhododendrons don’t do well in heavy soils that drain poorly.
