We recently received a new shipment of Rhododendrons. The varieties we have are: Minnetonka ~ Clusters of lavender pink flowers with yellow-green blotches in spring and gets 3-4’ tall or more. Jean Marie DeMontague ~ Heavy masses of bright red blooms in spring and gets 6’ tall Anah Kruschki ~ Gorgeous dense clusters of deep purple blooms in May or June and gets 5-7’ tall Daphne ~ Heavy masses of rich purple blooms, compact 3-4’ tall Sappho ~ Heavy masses of white flowers with purple blotch and gets 6’ tall Pink Pearl ~ Heavy masses of medium pink flowers and gets 4-6’ tall Anna Rose Whitney ~ Large rose pink clusters and gets 5-7’ tall Rhododendrons burst into bloom in the spring and do best here where there are large trees to create a humid micro climate. They like light, cool filtered shade and prefer moist, acid, well drained soil. Come by the nursery and check out our selection. Oh, by the way, besides the Dogwood I’d like for Christmas, a Rhododendron would be nice too!!! ☺
