Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, i just got a little bit into the whole Rhododendron growing. I have two pretty mature plants in my garden that flower like hell and i plan to start crossing them from now on. Those are the flowers of one of my plants...

How did crossing these work out for you EG?

I was never a fan of rhodies until my partner moved to the rhododendron dell at the botanical gardens where he works.

Is it hard to cross them or collect seed? I would like to raise some myself for bonsai.

Sorry if your interest in them has long faded, hard to appreciate the beauty of all plants when you are finding new things you like all the time.

Yeah it worked but i didnt have enough available growing space to sow them out. Friggin cacti all over the place. ;) Can send you some of the seed if you are interested in em! Its likely they are still viable.
