Book excerpt: This new edition of Success with Rhododendrons and Azaleas offers in one handy volume all the information gardeners need to grow these delightful plants. Reiley advises on selecting the best rhododendron cultivars for any site based on cold hardiness and heat tolerance and shares modern methods for transplanting containerized plants. The text has been fully updated for this revised edition, and presents the latest cutting-edge research. The indispensable "good-doer" lists have been refined, and a new chapter on North American native azaleas added. Reiley has included more than 100 color photographs illustrating these lavishly blooming shrubs. This improved version of an already popular reference is an invaluable tool for azalea and rhododendron fans.--COVER.
