Rhododendron





Rhododendron

located by the front door
came with the house

Rhododendrons have shallow roots - even large rhodies roots are no deeper than a shovel depth

Pinch off spent blooms to encourage growth. This works! Just snap the blooms off in the center of the cluster, but wear gloves because they are sticky!

There was a pair of bumblebees that worked on this plant exclusively for nearly two weeks. First there was just one, but he brought a friend a few days later! Early June 2012.
