Absolutely spectacular! I am delighted to learn that pine needles are such a good mulch - suits me really well, as there are several scots pines in my garden.
I love it how they talk about them like they are pretty easy to grow... must be nice being in cold damp England :( I live in Australia and unless you live in the mountains these plants are not gonna be happy
Oh those are just gorgeous. Is there an instruction video on how to keep them in pots? How large should they be for example, can I add coffee grounds or any other kitchen scraps to the soil mix? Do they need high or low sunlight? Where to place them in the garden. I prefer to get my advice from an expert. Thank you.
Put very salty water helps feed rhododendrons it will help them grow better you can use some road salt grit around the roots this will help with better balloons for next year too hope this helps someone.
I have one of these fekin things in my yard and always wondered what it was, leafs never fall off, and it flowers and keeps slowly getting bigger and bigger. I estimate it being 15ft × 9ft x 10ft tall. Live in Ohio, and its by a huge pine tree I just read these are acid loving, which is great, because I'm planning on planting blueberries. Must already have acidic soil
Yes, impressive, what a variety, I have a some too and several azaleas, how do I prune, how do I deal with disease or life after flowering, how is this a masterclass, other than a RHS walk in the garden.
I was reading not to plant a rhododendron near concrete due to the soil being acidic? I wanted to plant them in front of my house on the sides where there is a flower bed but also next to concrete walkway. Should I not plant there? Thankyou
One correction. There are a huge number of ground cover type Rhododendrons from Nepal / Bhutan and other Himalayan area countries. They max out at much less than a meter but they are all Rhododendrons not Azaleas.
How to take care of decidious azalea, stalk pls 😓.and this year I ruined the beautiful one I bought for Women's Day from greenhouse. This is the tenth in a row. It was in my house while it was cold outside and then I took him outside and the end. What to do with thst kind of azalea with georgeous buds in march .And inside the leaves started to fall on him so I took him out and his gone. I have another "pintail"and was indide till now , I noticed that he was dying and I also took him outside today 😓. I hope he will be saved. I love flowers too much and Im so sad .
Would an underplanting of groundcover, hurt a 25 year old Rhododendron? My groundcover has spread under it and it is suffering and losing it's leaves. Thank you
how can himalayan rhododendrons grow up to tree sizes when the himalayas has a much colder winter than chicago(where you do not see any tree rhododendrons)?
I live in a very hard water area. I would love a Rhodo in a container. What should I do to ensure I can water it if it’s dry summer? Should I use water from the Brita filter rather than regular tap water? Are there are any varieties that are more likely to thrive?
I grow rhodies in an area with hard water I find that they can cope well if they have good ericaceous compost. I also use water soluble fertilizer once a week or every couple of weeks which might help lowering the PH of the water. Or... you could try growing a type called "Inkarho". These are rhodies which have been grafted on lime-tolerant root-stock.
I have a huge one and live in ohio, can get -15°F planted in the ground and the leafs are still on the plant in the winter!, every year it keeps getting bigger and bigger, I'm not sure what the Cultivar is though....
I have a yard which is about 75% shaded most of the day but it gets full sun at the very end of the yard for most of the day. I have just bought a rhododendron and put in a large pot. Should it be in the full sun or in a more shaded spot?
I've had them in my garden for over 30 years and have found that they don't need much direct sun, do tolerate shade and do best in dapple shade but not dark shade, they definitely need daylight if that makes sense.
It does make sense. The handy thing about it being in a pot is I can experiment a little in moving it around. I will try it in the middle of the yard for a while, where it might get more partial sun. Thank you very much.
This is far from a masterclass, as others have pointed out... For example, no mention to the invasive Rhododendron Ponticum (Common Rhododendron) and how to distinguish it from other variants such as Rhododendron "Purple Passion" or Rhododendron "Blue Peter"...
I just planted my first rhododendron! So excited 😆 l hope and pray it grows nicely.
Best of luck💚
Just got my first today, first plant I'm planting in my garden
That is the most beautiful garden I've ever seen.

Absolutely wonderful!!

I'm surprised the invasive nature of certain species of this plant wasn't mentioned.
I give you "The W O W Factor" for sure 💯!

I wish this vid was 3 hours long
Wow Very very nice

Thanks for the tip, have you any more tips?

The leaf litter suggestion is true

How do i shape them into a tree from the beginning?
Can you make soil acidic so as to plant rhododendron? If so how do you do it please?

How tall and wide would a rhododendron cunningham white get?
One correction. There are a huge number of ground cover type Rhododendrons from Nepal / Bhutan and other Himalayan area countries. They max out at much less than a meter but they are all Rhododendrons not Azaleas.
Wait what
Can I plant a rhododendron under a tree which means it’s 90% shaded during the day?
This might be a dumb question, but can azaleas and Rhododendrons grow indoors? I have a South facing window

Wowwwww
how can himalayan rhododendrons grow up to tree sizes when the himalayas has a much colder winter than chicago(where you do not see any tree rhododendrons)?
What does it mean to pot them up every couple of years. Does that mean you need to buy new ones every couple of years if you’re growing them in a pot?
What’s with the hair gel? Who put you guys up to that? LoL!
How to get seeds pls reply.
I have one of these things in my yard, 12 ft wide and 15 ft tall. Been there about 40 yrs. I'm going to chop it down and pull it out by the roots.
Mine is dying! What can I do to save it?
Acidic soil - get your soil tested.
I live in a very hard water area. I would love a Rhodo in a container.
What should I do to ensure I can water it if it’s dry summer? Should I use water from the Brita filter rather than regular tap water?
Are there are any varieties that are more likely to thrive?

Are they poisonous to bee's and any animal's eating the leaves?
Yes poison to sheep cattle and horses
wow
