A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Shrubs and Trees Rhodies

Okay so now that the plant has been identified (thanks Bill! ), my mom and I want some Rhododendrons :) But I don't know anything about them What are some general things? Can we just put them in the ground and forget about it? (Like everything else I plant ) We tend to have the best of luck with the things that all we have to do is water them and maybe fertilize them with some miracle grow, mom has a black thumb and I have a wilting green one lol! :)

rhodies and azaleas will grow with no effort if they are placed right. bill has the best info on them if you aren't sure of what to do. i have one that is placed very poorly and it has no attention and grows anyway!

LOL Jiffy. Sounds like what I did with my azalea's :) and some of my hostas, some grew back huge and some are itty bitty!
