#Rhododendron

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

I just noticed that a couple of my mature #rhododendron seem to be sick. The leaves usually curl in only during extremely cold weather, but these look like they never got the message that it's warmer and spring is nearly here. It was a fairly normal winter; cold with a few light snowfalls. The kicker is that some branches are affected while others look normal. Any ideas? I hate to pull these out. #Gardening #Landscaping #Backyard

Rhododendron 'Seta' is a lovely early blooming hybrid (spinuliferum x moupinense). You wouldn't know it was snowing with temperatures down near 20° F just a week ago. As its buds open they will reveal pink and white striped flowers. Seta provides some welcome bright color in an otherwise pretty dormant garden. Ours has grown to about 5 feet tall in 25 years.
