• These flowers grow in the warmer regions of Australia, however they also grow in cooler areas.
• Vireyas are similar to other Rhododendrons, requiring a well drained acid soil to grow to their best
• Mulch the soil to keep the roots cool and ensure plants are regularly watered during hotter months
