Rhododendron

[seeyouinanotherlifewhenwearebothcats]

Good morning. I’ve tried to attach photos - hopefully successfully. I have a rhododendron shrub in our garden (my first year in this garden) but I’m noticing it’s not as full as the other one. Upon closer inspection it seems something has eaten the leaves? Is this killing it? Will it be ok? Any seasoned gardeners have any advice? Thanks

It’ll be fine. It’s barely reduced the area of functional leaf.

They’re pretty tough plants, despite the delicacy of the blooms. You’ve got some good strong buds there, so it’ll be fine.

Ah thank you both so much! I’m very much a novice so panicking at the slightest thing
