I was recently asked some questions about the details of how I planted my rhododendrons on my property, so I thought I'd do a "how to plant rhododendrons in your landscape" video. These garden tips come from my personal experience here at our nursery and have served me well along the way. I'll give you the pitfalls to steer away from as well. We'll also do an early season garden tour since many of you have been asking. The garden tour is a couple weeks behind so many of the plants are in full bloom now but I've been filming away, so we'll have another garden tour coming soon that's more updated on the blooms.

  • I moved into a house that already had rhododendron planted in the yard. This past winter the high winds completely uprooted one of the bushes. I tried to save it but it did finally died. Today I purchased 2 more to replace the uprooted one and continue to add more to my property. I watched this video for the tips. Thank you for this. I learned so much. I have sandy soil so I hope my new plants adapt and grow as well as the others in my yard. They bring me joy

  • A lot of people don't like it these days, but gardens grow and are ever changing. Great to see your garden grow and you with it. You are the Rhododendron Master. A lot of great information here. If you get time away from the new house, I'll be watching for your mid and late season tour too.

    I just planted my rhododendron yesterday! My yard is an old field with pine trees just outside the fence. Horse manure and bark mulch mixed in a little heavy soil and sun from morning until 1-2pm and shade from the forest after that. I had your tip in mind when planting! 😁

  • Mike, I hope you’re doing well! I’ve come to absolutely love your videos. I had no idea you were so knowledgeable about gardening and plants and man, I have learned a ton!
  • I went to someone's house once and they had a lavender rhodie that was at least 35 feet tall, that was 15 years ago. It even had a small tree house in it!
