    If you planted in the ground, do you have acid soil in your garden?  That is a requirement for rhodo's.  If you haven't, you might be able to rescue it if you lift it and plant in a large pot of ericaceous compost.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thank you bob the gardener for you'r reply, yes i planted it in the ground and it's acid soil, but i have now removed the soil and replaced it with ericaceous soil and hope for the best.
