Greetings,
Can anyone recommend some nurseries in the Midwest (mailorder or to visit)
that carry a good selection of azaleas and rhododendrons? I am
particularly interested in the Mezitt/Weston hybrids but also in whatever
else does well in this area. Also, are there any Midwesterners out there
who have particular favorites (either varieties or types) that they would
recommend to me? I have read the catalogs from back east and their plants
look tempting, but I know that our conditions here are very different. I
have had bad luck with K-Mart azaleas as well as with a rhodo purchased
from a locally owned nursery that I was assured was foolproof.
This is for a new azalea/rhodo bed we plan to put in next spring.
Thanks!
