It is a large genus with over 800 species. and most have showy flower displays. It includes the plants known to gardeners as azalea, which was once treated as a separate genus. Species of Rhododendron are widely distributed, occurring throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere except for dry areas, and extending into the Southern Hemisphere in southeastern Asia and northern Australasia. The highest species diversity is found in the Sino-Himalayan mountains from central Nepal and Sikkim east to Yunnan and Sichuan, with other significant areas of diversity in the mountains of Indo-China, Korea, Japan and Taiwaan. In addition, there are a significant number of tropical rhododendron species from southeast Asia to northern Australia, with 55 known species in Borneo and 164 in New Guinea . Relatively fewer species occur in North America and Europe. Rhododendrons have not been found in South America or Africa. edit Description The species are shrubs and small to (rarely) large trees, the smallest species growing to 10-20 cm tall, and the largest

BUSINESS Business Pages Business News Jobs ... Search Seattle gardening resources The Seattle area can be a great place to garden. The climate is mild, and the growing season in the city and its immediate suburbs usually runs from March to November (and in many years, longer!). Our last frost date in Spring is usually by April 20, and it's not all that uncommon to see rosebushes blooming straight through to Christmas in a warm year. Seattle lies in the USDA climate zone 8 (minimum temperatures, 10 to 20°F or -12 to -7°C) and the Sunset climate zone 5 (marine influence along the northwest coast and Puget Sound). Though Seattle lies as far north as Bangor, Maine, the Pacific Ocean currents bring mild marine air that keeps the Emerald City relatively warm (and wet!) in the winter and cool and dry in the summer. Take a look at Seattle.Net's weather information page for more information. Plants that thrive in the Seattle area include the ubiquitous rhododendron, daffodils, ferns, dogwoods, vine maples, raspberries, and blackberries (whose vines can often be seen running wild in untended empty lots; blackberries grow like weeds here!).

Deadheading typically makes a big difference in the number of blooms the following year, since otherwise energy goes into making seeds. You have to be a bit careful deadheading, because next years flower buds form just below the current years. You want to snap off the faded flower, but not any of the buds below.

Source: JARS V46:No.1:p21:y1992 Tips for Beginners: Good Soil Promises Rhodie Success The article was compiled from Greer's Guidebook to Available Rhododendrons by Harold Greer, a past president of the ARS and owner of Greer Gardens in Eugene, Oregon. "Rhododendrons are forgiving plants, but there are some things they just won't tolerate. So, it is important to understand their basic requirements," Mr. Greer tells the newcomer to rhododendron gardening. The three basic requirements he lists all hinge on the quality of the soil in which - or on which - the rhododendron is planted. First, he says, they must have a constant supply of moisture. Second, they must never sit in stagnant water. And, third, they must be grown in a coarse, acid medium. Provide these conditions and you will succeed in growing a healthy rhododendron no matter where you live, provided the hybrid or species is suited to the climate, he promises. Then he goes on to tell you how to provide these conditions. One distinction to note here is that the "planting medium" and the "natural soil" may well be two different substances in your garden. You will provide the planting medium, while nature provides the natural soil, which is usually a less than ideal soil for rhododendrons. Mr. Greer then tells you to go outside and take a look at your soil. "Consider the growing medium (the improved top layer of soil if there is one) and also the soil and drainage that is underneath the proposed planting. You must determine whether or not your soil has good drainage. If heavy clay is present you must overcome this barrier. Dig a small hole and run some water into it; if the water does not disappear in a very few minutes, you have poor drainage. This is not a sure test, but it will give you a good indication. Now examine the soil texture; is it sandy, or is it composed of fine clay particles? Sometimes the topmost soil layer will drain well, but there will be a hardpan underneath it that will not drain. So, watch for this condition." If your natural soil is perfect rhododendron soil, you can put this article down and take up your shovel and proceed. There are such soils, but most are not so fortunate.

The locals along the Black Sea repeated the stunt against General Pompey a few centuries later. And the tactic purportedly worked again when the much-legended amazonian Queen Olga of medieval Kiev gave tribute of Black Sea honey to invading Russians, then killed the lot of them while they were in hallucinatory stupors. none In theory, though not in reported actuality, if a hive spent the two or three weeks that Rhododendron albiflorum is blooming here in the Northwest, gleaning from nothing else, a toxic honey could result. The other two west coast species with grayanotoxin are R. occidentale R. macrophyllum. R. albiflorum's extensive range.

Home Rhododendron Rhododendron's (the name is derived from the Greek meaning "red tree") are one of the most favorite shrubs on the gardener's wish list. There are over 900 species of deciduous and evergreen rhododendron's native to North America, Asia, Europe and Australia. Rhododendrons are grown primarily for their colorful flowers. Sizes range from prostrate forms with pinhead leaves to tree-sized. Blooms may be the tradition pinks, purples and whites, but also include yellows and dark red varieties. Most bloom in the spring, but some varieties in mid summer and the fall. Difference between Rhododendrons and Azaleas Azaleas are really rhododendrons. The main difference with some exceptions, which can be argued, is that azaleas tend to be deciduous with funnel shaped flowers and rhododendrons tend to be evergreen and bell-shaped flowers. Growing rhododendrons ALL rhododendrons need excellent drainage and an acidic soil rich in organic matter. They do not tolerate hot, dry or windy conditions. Any combination of these intolerance's can prove fatal for rhododendrons. They can be grown in heavy soils if special precautions are taken.

When to Cut Rhododendron Gardening Information for Pruning Rhododendron Bushes By Tara Mihalech eHow Contributor updated: April 28, 2010 I want to do this! What's This? Pruning a rhododendron requires appropriate timing. Fotolia.com Rhododendrons are large flowering bushes that often require minimal maintenance. It is important to prune at the right time of the year, as late pruning can prevent flowers from returning the next season. While most rhododendrons require only light pruning, sometimes fungus or pathway clearance can lead to the necessity of a heavy pruning. Timing Pruning should occur at the end of the flowering season. Rhododendrons bloom on the previous year's wood. This means that buds are formed during the year prior to the blooms appearing. If pruning occurs too late in the year, these buds could be removed. Therefore, blooms would not appear. Consider pruning during flowering season in order to bring some of the flowers into the house. Larger-leaved Rhododendrons When pruning, cuts must be made just above the "growth joint." A growth joint is the visible area where a plant has started growth. By pruning just above this joint, you will preserve the dormant growth buds.
