My husband planted a small (about 8-10 inches)rhodie last April in a
woodsy spot that gets lots of morning sun, but mainly mottled sun at
best, the rest of the day. While it seems to be doing OK, nice and green
still, put out a round of new leaves, etc, it doesn't seem to be getting
any taller or much wider, for that matter. Is this typical? My guess is
that it's hopefully still busily putting down lots of nice roots, and
will start growing bigger next year, that's all it is, just a guess.

We have a lot of azaleas around the general area, which are doing great,
but this is our first experience with rhodies.

Yes it sounds like your Rhododendrons are healthy and rooting. Your
just impatient. It takes more than one season for most any plant to
establish. When it does, you will know. It will take off. Enjoy
it's early tentative moments.
