Misleading advice. Rhododendrons do not flower in their second or
third year from seed. The reason such a small plant hasn't flowered yet
is immaturity, as Kay said. Adding potash won't make any difference to
that.
The success of a nearby mother-plant at flowering and setting seed,
indicates the soil is not deficient .

Right. I got some more info on this and you are wrong.

Perhaps you could be more specific? Wrong in which respect?

Check out this
website which some member of this group has just forwarded to me.

I checked it out, before refuting your earlier error. :-) It
confirms you were wrong. Again.

In brief it says:- Young plants are usually in bud or flower when
planted but may then take two to three years to establish before
resuming flowering. Potash encourages flower production so check that
the soil is not deficient in this fertiliser.

The RHS quote above, does not contradict my earlier post.
