Re: Midwest rhodos

http://www.beaver-creek-nursery.com/index.htm  Looks like they sell retail
and specialize in Jap Maples. They do NOT sell rhodies (unless there's more
than one Beaver Creek).

Since you and some others on this list are from Champaign:  There's a
nursery in the countryside north of Champaign (north of 74 and west of 57,
approaching Mahomet) called Klehm's Nursery.  They mostly grow hosta,
peonies and daylillies--perhaps you've seen their fields of peonies from the
highway?  However, they do not grow rhodies.  Also, they no longer sell out
of that nursery and now operate their retail business out of Wisconsin at a
place called "Song Sparrow Perennial Farm."

The phone number Gregg gave is neither for Beaver Creek nor Klehm's retail
in WI, so maybe the number's right but the name is not?

Gregg,
        Can you say more about the rhodo source you mention?  Can
individuals buy from them or only nurseries?  Where are they (I'm in
Champaign-Urbana and I never heard of Beaver Creek and the phone area code
isn't 217???)?
        We have grown mucronulatum (Cornell pink), some of the big hardy
ones from discount stores (if you get to them early) like nova zembla and
catawbiense and we've got (they are hard to find) one of the yakus.  I have
been looking for the northern lights series...
