Default Rhododendron

Based on my experience Rhodys do not grow well in sunny places. I'd
plant something else.

Good luck,

Hi,

I'm looking to plant some rhododendrons in a bed about 4m x 1m. The
spot is very sunny and has previously grown a few daffodils, bluebells
and tulips. I want them to fill the space eventually, grow no higher
than 1m and be of the evergreen variety. I'm yet to test the acidity
of the soil.

Just looking for advice on which species I should go for, how many I
should plant and what the best time of year is to buy/plant
them....plus anything else which may be of use to me!

Thanks in advance!
