Hi everyone. This is my first post on the Flower & Garden Forum.
My DH and I are having our front yard completely redone in the spring.
We will be having a new septic tank put in, trees cut down, etc.
Last fall we cleared and cut down old bushes and small trees. I had a person from a nursery draw up a landscape design.
We plan on having rhododendrons, holly and mountain laurel as the base shrubs in front of the house. I plan on having two weeping cherry trees also.
I've searched the web for hours and days on how to plant the above shrubs and care involved.
Does anyone know how to get the rhododendrons to bloom? In my neighborhood there seem to be many rhododendron bushes but none ever bloom. Does anyone know the secret to get them to bloom?
We planted four holly bushes on the side of our house in the late summer/early fall and the three female holly bushes all have beautiful berries this winter. I chose the rhododendrons, holly and mountain laureal as I want plants which remain green all year round.
I'll be having lots of other questions coming.
Thanks
