Rhododendron Notes
After the name of each rhody or azalea, we have listed a series of numbers. First is the size of the plant in 10 years. Then, hardiness ratings in degrees Fahrenheit. Bloom times in our area:
- VE- Jan-April 1
- E- April 1-May1
- EM- May1-May15
- M- May 15-June1
- ML-June 1-June 15
- L- June15- July 1
- VL- July 1- Aug
Our descriptions also include American Rhododendron Society ratings when possible. The three numbers (i.e. 3/4/4 ) rate the flower, plant, and performance in the garden. A ‘5’ is an excellent, but uncommon, rating. ‘3’ ratings are common, but a lower rating does not mean the plant is not worth growing. ‘-/-/-‘ indicates a rhododendron that has not yet been rated by the ARS.
We ship plants from mid-February to late April to all states within the U.S., as weather and state agricultural restrictions permit. Because we are unable to guarantee the success and health of your plant outside of the U.S., we do not currently ship to other countries.
