I bought this last fall and haven't killed it yet. When I bought it, it had huge buds on it and now they're opening. I'm quite adept at killing houseplants and potted plants, although I was once a successful outdoor gardener. This is supposed to be a very hardy cultivar. That usually means cold resistant, but I hope it also means I'll have a tough time killing it!
It's gorgeous, I've never seen a Rhododendron with flowers like that one. As you know, I've given up on houseplants as I murdered so many in the past, I suppose strictly speaking it was plantslaughter not murder as I certainly never planned their demise!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers do seem a bit odd. They look different from those in other online photos. Maybe they're not finished opening. I'll keep you posted.
DeletePretty. Love the color!
ReplyDeleteI really chose it for the leaves and because it was cheap! I'm not good at container gardening, so I hate to spend too much on something I'll probably kill!
