Rhododendron (Rhododendron Varieties)

First of a few I've grown from seed (in 2013) to flower properly. It's needed a bit of patience!

That's amazing Jeff!💘😍

Wow, that's brilliant Jeff, well done 💖👏👏

Well done, that's real patience! 👍👏

Wow! That’s dedication! Worth the wait though! 🌸💕

It was moderately difficult. The seeds are tiny & only seem to grow if less than 12 months old & on the surface of ericaceous compost. I got about 20 or so to germinate, but over the years, only got about 5 or 6 to survive until now. Glad I tried it now & looking forward to see how well the others flower. @cyndi

Thanks @ShelleySnyder 😊💕

Cheers Jane 👍💕 @pelly

Thank you Barbara. The patience of a St Helens saint! 😇😁 @missjeykll

Cheers Rach 👍 Apart from repotting them a couple of times, I more or less just left them tucked away in a corner of the garden, largely forgotten until I spotted flower buds appearing @rachelbrooks

Thanks A lot Cyndi. I've just sown some very recently acquired azalea seeds, so, watch this space........in around 2025! 😀 @cyndi xoxo

Oh well done Jeff , it’s beautiful, worth the wait 💕💕
