I ve got a couple of these in my garden, they are shrub like plants but
what are they? Having looked through a number of gardening books I
found a few similar but not quite the same looking plants, its a
puzzle, are they worth keeping? The foliage is nice but will there be
flowers? Have anyone seen a plant like it and know what it is?

Your help is much appreciated
Many Thanks


Look like rhododendrons. Rather young plants so may be a few years till
they reach flowering size.


Yes, looks like it very much. To flowers they need potash - Maria,
perhaps you should test the ground to find out if it isn't deficient.
They do take around 2 years to flowers, sometimes 3. You should have
another rhodo close by, have you?!
