An Introduction to Hybridizing and Propagating Rhododendrons

CVRS members and anyone interested in learning more about the Society are warmly welcome.

Discover what goes into creating and propagating rhododendrons.

Lloyd Gilmore, shares his approach to selecting plants for crosses, producing seed, and growing new plants.

The presentation includes a seed-sowing demonstration, examples of Lloyd’s own crosses, and a look at the propagator he built to grow cuttings from his most promising plants.

Come learn, ask questions and pick up practical ideas you can try with your own rhododendrons. Whether you’re an experienced grower or simply curious about propagation, everyone is welcome.

Raffle: Cuttings of R. ‘Curlew’ and R. ‘Orange Prelude’ will be up for grabs.
