Rhododendrons need a loca- tion glvlng wind protection, partial shade and acid soul. They grow best in moist but well drained conditions, and are better with mulch to keep roots cool and moist. They are grown i many parts of the world with some new varieties developed even i a northern country like Flnland. There are many varieties available, some grow quite large and will live for several years. Dave showed many inter- estimg sldes of his garden.
