For many years the common belief, excluding canadense and vaseyi, was our native azaleas liked to cross with one another and produce fertile offspring. What...

Go to google and type in northern lights azaleas. The box stores should carry them in spring and you'll need good luck (and a lot of money) to find them...

Hi Fran, The best guess is to write down when they bloom each year and take the average. Weather affects the bloom time and I've studied the predictive ability...
Hi Fran, You didn't indicate where you live. That might make a difference. I'm in zone 7 in Maryland and my Southern Indian hybrids bloom in late April-early...
Red Has 'Frank Mossman' been checked for ploidy? Since it appears that 'Leonard Frisbie' is a 2n based on SM 189 & 'Leonard Frisbie' being a 2n, one would...
Based on the data I have collected over 19 years, the spring temperatures and not the winter temperatures determine bloom time. A cold winter can kill pips...
John I know that my records are not as thorough as yours . . . . but yes . . . . . your data are consistent with the data I have here. Nick Yarmoshuk St....
John, I don't think that Ranney tested 'Frank Mossman' since it was an intraspecific hybrid. He just did the wild clones. Therefore, I don't know its polidy. ...

John: How have you tested occidentale in your New Hampshire garden, and why do you think it has failed? Was it air temperature, other weather conditions, soil...
We grew 3 R.occidentale from seed for about 10 years. Never got any bigger or smaller. Max height was about 4 inches. It would grew about 2 inches every summer...

Jim, This won't be much help, but I purchased a plant from Woodlanders Nursery back in 1998 that was listed as R. austrinum 'Alba'. I lost the plant several...
Jim: I grow it. I call it Reifler's Alba austrinum. My plant came from Woodlanders. It was discovered in the wild by naturalist Steve Reifler in Florida. ...
