Horticulture Centre Of The Pacific - Rhodo & Hosta Garden
rhododendron Hosta Garden. The primary purpose of the garden is to demonstrate the range and beauty of rhododendrons and hostas for the gardening public.
http://www.hcp.bc.ca/rhodo.htm

Extractions: The Rhododendron and Hosta Garden, initially planted in 1985, was extensively renovated from 1995 to 2000 under the direction of Dr. Ted Irving with the help of a dedicated group of volunteers. Financial support from the Victoria Rhododendron Society, and donations in memory of Frances (the notable hosta hybridizer) and Constance Williams were invaluable. The soil was amended, drainage improved, duplicate plants sold and many new ones added. All but one garden area has been completed. In the section that is not yet developed, the soil has been amended, and landscaping and addition of plants will begin in 2002. The primary purpose of the garden is to demonstrate the range and beauty of rhododendrons and hostas for the gardening public. Plants in the garden are generally commercially available. Specimens of rhododendrons range from large, tree-like varieties (suitable for woodland gardens) to small forms suitable for urban and rock gardens. The hostas that have been planted display the wide variety of leaf form and colour available; some are fragrant. Blooming of rhododendrons peaks in April and May but extends from February to July. Hostas are at their best in mid-summer and fall for bloom and foliage. Many companion plants provide year-round colour and interest: primulas, ferns, lilies, hardy and other geraniums, hydrangeas, hebes, hellebores, cyclamens, astilbes, epimediums, small ornamental trees and shrubs, like old fashioned roses, and others.

http://www.slugsandsalal.com/05/rhodo.html

Extractions: Home In the Garden Apart from the rose, probably no flowering shrub is more well loved here on the west coast than the rhododendron. Given congenial conditions, rhododendrons are faithful and flamboyant garden performers. Even in the dark of winter the lush, leathery-leaved shrubs hold in their fat buds the promise of spring, when the gradual coloring and opening of the blossoms is surely one of the year's most cherished sights. This month, while many rhododendrons are at their most glorious, it is useful to consider the conditions under which these beautiful flowering shrubs thrive. An ideal rhododendron plant site is a place with dappled sunshine or light shade and shelter from cold winds and morning sun. An acidic, humus-rich, perfectly drained soil is another component in the recipe for easy success with rhododendrons. Vancouver's VanDusen Botanical Garden. Planting against house walls can be a risky business. Under house eaves, without careful attention the soil tends to dry. And lime leaching from the house foundation is harmful to acid-loving plants. More camellias, plants requiring rhododendron conditions, drop their buds for these reasons when planted aginst house walls than for any other cause. These shrubs need a good supply of air at their roots. Before planting, it is wise to dig the site deeply, incorporating compost, fine fir bark, and/or coir (coconut fibre, avaiable in compressed blocks). These organic materials help to open air spaces in the soil, facilitating drainage as they inprove a soil's capacity to hold on to moisture and nutrients.

http://www.bayeradvanced.com/garden/gardening/trees-shrubs/azaleas-rhododendrons

Extractions: Blooms Large flower clusters are born at the end of the branches in early spring, primarily in shades of white, pink, red and purple. However there also are varieties with yellow, orange and salmon colored blooms. In ideal conditions, rhododendrons can grow into large trees, but most garden varieties stay in the five to 10 foot range. Azaleas Azaleas tend to be smaller, compact, spreading plants with tiny, evergreen or deciduous leaves. Growing Environment Best to plant in shady areas but some varieties can take more sun. Azaleas are more widely adapted to warm summer temperatures than rhododendrons and can grow in all regions of the U.S. except the desert southwest and areas with very cold winters.

Extractions: Frequently Asked Questions: Flower Gardening 1. I need to know whether it will be harmful to my azaleas to feed them before they bloom this spring, or should I wait until after they bloom? 1. I need to know whether it will be harmful to my azaleas to feed them before they bloom this spring, or should I wait until after they bloom? I would generally feed just after blooming in most instances. Feeding earlier would usually not cause any harm with a few exceptions, as noted below. The Sunset Western Garden Book recommends feeding once growth begins in the spring, again at bloom time or right after, and monthly until August. I would generally agree with their directions with a couple of qualifications. I adapt my recommendations based upon a couple of factors. What is the condition of the plant? Is it yellow and showing obvious signs of nutritional deficiencies? Feeding will help to ensure that you have a healthy plant capable of blooming well and more importantly setting buds for next years bloom. What kind of fertilizer are you using? If your fertilizer has high amounts of soluble nitrogen (for example fertilizers like Miracle Gro which are designed to be dissolved in water or if they contain large amounts of nitrogen sources like sulfate of ammonia, ammonium phosphate, or nitrate sources of nitrogen) it may be advisable to delay application until after blooming. A sudden flush of nitrogen in the plant system could upset blooming. This has been the belief of many for years, and the traditional recommendation has been to feed immediately after blooming. Also, if you are using a synthetic fertilizer with nutrient sources like those above, remember that they are salt based. Azaleas and their cousins, rhododendrons, are typically shallow rooters that grow close to the surface, so be sure to spread the fertilizer out to avoid burning and damaging the roots near the surface.

AFHE Links GET GROWING GARDENING TIPS Brought to you by Dr. Michael Hickman, Associate Director, Devonian Botanic Garden Care of Rhododendron simsii , the Indoor Azalea Another indoor plant often forced into flower for the Christmas trade is the indoor Azalea or Rhododendron simsii . This Indian azalea will eventually grow to between 20 and 45 centimetres or 1 to 1.5 feet tall. There are white, red, orange, purple flowering forms as well as bicolours, ruffled, doubles and singles. Indoors they can create a wealth of both subtle and vibrant colours. These plants require cool, damp and shady conditions. If the potting soil dries out, the plant will almost certainly die. It is best to water by plunging the pot into a deeper container of preferably tepid rainwater water, or water from melted snow. Leave until bubbles have ceased to appear. Then drain, and place on a bed of small stone or pebbles to which water has been added to maintain a high humidity around the plant. Mist spray the plant from when the plant is moved indoors to when the buds show colour. Also, from when the buds show colour, to when the flowers fade, feed very fortnight with a weak acid liquid fertilizer. In mid-May, repot with fresh potting soil which should be a lime-free, peaty compost and begin feeding with a high potash liquid feed. Plants can be placed out-of-doors in a cool, shady site for the summer, and must be kept constantly moist. Remember that these plants will have to be brought indoors before the danger of frosts in late summer/early autumn, depending upon the year.

Extractions: We recently moved into a home where there are several rhododendrons. They appear very healthy and we would like to keep them that way. Can you share tips for caring for these shrubs? Of all the flowering shrubs, the rhododendron has to be one of the most spectacular. And while it only flowers once a year, it's well worth the wait. Now this plant doesn't grow all over the country. It likes climates that have moist air and temperatures that are not too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. When it comes to soil you'll find that the plants favor a more acidic growing medium, and it must always be very well drained. If you are mindful of the mature height and growing habit of the varieties that you plant, you may never have to prune your rhododendrons. Many varieties can grow six to eight feet or even taller. So think about that before you plant them because it's a shame to cut back such a beautiful shrub. Now to promote heavy bloom next year, it's important to remove the spent flowers. To do this, just break off the faded flower at the base just above the buds. Depending on the size plant you're working with, this job can take a little time, but it seems to be worth it.

Extractions: Febrary 1998 I didn't know beans about winter gardens when I first laid eyes on one. During a February botanic tour to Great Britain, I marveled at the extensive plantings of heaths, heathers, and the like displayed for their winter beauty. But, attractive as they were, I thought there was a big flaw in the gardens I saw- there were no interesting contours, no sturdy-looking, structural woody plants, no focal points. They were just masses of plants. I thought I could do better. Not being one to rush into things, I contemplated the idea for a couple years. The more I considered the possibilities, the more intrigued I became. I thought about creating a landscape of gentle berms and swales bisected by a rocky stream bed. I'd place lots of old, lichened stone about the site, then create a series of beds and borders filled with colorful, sculptural-looking trees, shrubs, and perennials selected especially for their winter beauty. As a garden designer and nursery owner, I had both the

The Great Rhododendron Rescue : Garden Design : Mooseyscountrygarden.com
a great gardening disaster an important learning experience maybe, even a great cover-up, but not (as yet) a failed project. Call it my great rhododendron
http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/garden-design/rhododendron-rescue.html

Extractions: Bright Pink 'You should write about projects that failed' said the helpful Moosey-partner, watching sceptically as some rhododendrons were being shifted into a new garden on one of the hottest days of summer. My gardener's ego demands that I only easily remember the good times, the inspired plantings, the risks that worked. My big projects always work well. Do I have any great gardening disasters? Perhaps better to call them temporary lapses of reason. The plant victims themselves are quite forgiving, and it's not usually too hard to do a great gardening cover-up. Take my small cluster of upwardly mobile rhododendrons. They were gifted to me over four years ago, and started life in the perfect woodland setting, near the babbling water, dappled sunlight, extra mulch. There was a little problem - the woods themselves were large Wattles and Eucalypts - gross feeders (a phrase which could inspire quite a good gardening cartoon). The soil was dusty, dry, and quite lifeless.

Extractions: Rhododendrons Growing this plant takes more than a good eye Anna Rose Whitney pink What is more majestic than the rhododendron, with its magnificent flower trusses in the spring? Though it is majestic, this plant is not as common in our spring gardens as its plant kingdom relative, the azalea, says Walter Przypek, a York County master gardener and grower/hybridizer of many rhododendrons in his own gardens. "We can add and retain these plants in our landscape by careful plant selection and proper culture," says Walter. He and master-gardener wife Sybil are on the board of directors for the Middle Atlantic Chapter, American Rhododendron Society. Rhododendrons grow in a wide range of climates in their native lands. Because of this high diversity of native climates, some of these plants will not survive our temperatures, primarily in the summer. In the past, a limited number of adaptable plants were available to local gardeners, and many people tried to grow plants that were not well-suited for our area, with predictable results. In recent years, many new hybrids have been developed for our growing conditions, so it is important to choose rhododendrons by name and variety rather than simply by plant shape and flower color for success, says Walter.

You will find valuable resources that enable you to learn more about the selection and care of rhododendrons.
