Is this a weed?

Question from Mike Craigie

In forum: Identify a plant

I had thought this was a rhododendron going mad but looking again the cross-section of the shoots is almost bamboo-like(?)
Growing 6ft plus and not overly-attractive - there was a rhododendron in front I think but you’ll see that’s gone woody and probably dead tbh
Any help appreciated!

Re: Help Identifying these plants

Message from Nicola

In forum: Identify a plant

Hi Abigail, some useful suggestions from our social media followers:

"Looks like:
1 an azalea
2 euonymus silver queen in the background and a rose with blackspot in front
3 Jasminum nudiflorum winter jasmine"

"2 is a type of euonymous, 3 is winter jasmine. ( I think)"

"1 is a rhododendron.
2 hellebore leaf in hand with euonymus emerald gaiety in the background.
3 is jasmine."

Hope that helps?

Re: Plants for a north facing covered area

How about a Rhododendron? Or for something more radical - move the pots against the wall either side and add some trellis up the side and over the top and plant honeysuckle in both pots to trail up and around to create a scented arbour/reading area?

Sorry, not a rhododendron. This is an oleander.

Thanks guys! I hadn't even considered Rhododendron. I don't garden on acidic soil myself so Rhodos are off my radar! Anyway I will see what the flowers look like when they emerge and I'm sure it will confirm that you're right.
Thanks again,

In forum: Pests, diseases and invasive biosecurity risks

Hi!
Is that a camellia bush? They look like cushion scale or cottony camellia scale. Despite their name, they also feed on holly, euonymus, star jasmine, and rhododendron. Though annoying, and their secretions can attract sooty mould (a fungus), they don't usually affect the vigour of the plant. You can spray them off with water or wipe them off. If heavily infested, you can used an insecticide but this is not recommended when a plant is in flower as the insecticide might kill off bees and other beneficial insects.
Best of luck,
Kathy N

Re: Azalea Simsil

Message from ELAINE HUTSON

In forum: Identify a plant

Technically speaking azaleas are rhododendrons and there are the florist azaleas, which are not suppose to be hardy out doors, but not knowing how cold you get, it would be hard to advise you on the hardiness.

Azalea Simsil

Question from Charlotte Harmer

In forum: Identify a plant

In the summer I bought an Azalea Simsil from the local garden centre but there's no information on it.

Does anyone know anything about this plant? I googled it and only found reference to Rhododendron Simsii or indoor Azalea so I went back to the garden centre to see if they'd mislabelled. All the others were also labelled 'simsil' too.

So, anyone got any clues please?????

In forum: Identify a plant

Hi Karen, a few possibilities discussed on our social media

"Could it be a rhododendron?"
"I think it looks like a rhododendron also, but I can't see the stem so can't be certain"
"Looks a bit like avocado. Not sure though."
"Could it be some type of Pieris? P. japonica or P. formosa. The leaves look very big though..."

I hope this helps?

Cheers, Nicola

It thinks its Spring?

Message from Steve

In forum: Identify a plant

Hi again,
Yes its definitely looking like a dwarf rhododendron now, the trouble is that the buds are starting to break out already. Is this 'normal' or would it be because this was taken from a hot dry south facing area where it was almost dead and put in a pot in semi shade (6 months ago). I also noticed some winter bulbs coming up, it has been a very wet and colder than normal July & August but not winter-like. I cant see how these buds will last through until next spring.

Rhododendron hedge from cuttings and sloped garden

Question from Rebecca Cameron

In forum: New to gardening

Hi I'm a pretty novice gardener and about to move into a house with a large over grown garden on a slope. It is dominated by 2 huge rhododendron bushes about half way up the slope. I was wondering if I could take loads of cuttings from the to use as a hedge and then remove what's left to create a lawned area for the children to play on. So.. is this a reasonable plan re: hedge? And how would I go about it and would it cause a big drainage issue.. the rest of the "grassy area is moist and covered in moss. Any help appreciated thanks
