They will cover forms too, then you can get a moss topiary! We have one funny shaped moss sculpture on one of the lower roofs at work. Too bad my...
I just picked up a couple of 1-2 foot tall rhodies at the walmart. $10 each. I'm just planting them back in the woods at that price. Nice and...
When they're young you can eat them-cream of fireweed soup-yum!! I remember when I used to work for fisheries and there was a hatchery up north...

Interesting site! Thanks for the link. I've found some rhododendron nurseries in the lower mainland and some have hardier varieties. I think I'll...
Already present and thriving! The wild ones (and the habitat) gave me the idea that rhodies might do well there. I banged in a pjm hybrid last...
Just got a rhododendron book I'd ordered. Way too many rhodies!! It will be quite a job to find the cold hardy ones I like in there- I guess I can...
