5009 Rhododendrons

5009 Rhododendrons

Lisa QuiggleRoom 412

How many of us have said “Rhododendrons?  I have the purple one and the red one.” Reconsider rhododendrons in your garden, just like hosta there are plenty of options. The American Rhododendron Society held their delayed 2020 convention in 2022 in the Pacific Northwest. The convention presented many plants of different sizes, colors, leaf shapes, and variegation. With proper siting many of these can be grown in our area. We will discuss the plants, gardens and suppliers to reconsider your use of rhododendrons in your landscape.  

Lisa Quiggle works as a toxicologist at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, but in her spare time, she’s a gardener at heart. Lisa is involved with the Ed Elslager Hybridizing Society and organizes club events and serves where needed. Her garden is overflowing with both named hosta varieties as well as a palette of seedlings from hybrids made by herself and her friends.
