New ebook out now by John Mason and Staff of ACS Distance Education

Understand more about Rhododendrons and Azaleas with the ebook- Growing and Knowing Rhododendrons and Azaleas. Written by John Mason and staff of ACS Distance Education, this ebook is 212 pages full of stunning colour photographs and information on Rhododendrons and Azaleas. Learn about the classification of the genus and also understand the effective growing conditions for the plants.

Despite the different subgenera, sections and subsections of rhododendrons most of them come from western China and the Himalayan region, with most of the rest being found in other parts of Asia, Europe and North America. Typically, they are found at least 1000m above sea level and so are quite hardy plants which adapt well to cold and wet regions. Those which are naturally found at lower altitudes or in warmer regions are not as hardy.
