You can see them everywhere in spring and you can smell their beautiful, powerful fragrance in the breeze!  It is a shrub but in nurseries you can find so called ‘standard’ (tree form) for small garden.  Best in full sun location.  Very hardy and easy to propagate from green wood cutting or seeds.

With good care, it can flower twice in a year!  Once in spring and once in fall.

春天到處可見可聞到乘風而來的芬芳花香!  它是灌木或苗圃會訓練它做成樹型,很適合小花園.  全日照為佳.  非常強健也很容易扦插新枝條或種子繁殖.  照顧的好可一年開春秋各一次花.

It is very easy to collect their seed pods to get seeds if you or your family have a plant in the garden. Their growth rate is slow so in garden centres or nurseries the price is high. Besides propagation of stem cuttings, propagate them from seeds you can get more. They are spring flowering shrubs, tolerant shade and evergreen through winter. They all like slightly acidic soil.

1.soil/medium must be well drained, use shallow container to sow seeds. If possible, sterilize the soil/medium first.

2.Keep soil moist but too wet. Sow seeds on the surface of soil. Do not cover the seeds. Leave the container where is partial shade. Seeds will germinate in 10-20 days. Will grow the first set of leaves in 8-10 weeks. They are easy to grow but slow, so be patient!

酒紅杜鵑(Rhododendron catawbiense ‘Roseum Elegans’)及山月桂屬的種子種植方法:

1.土用泥炭土和木屑/碎樹皮以1比1混合為播種用土. 用淺缽為苗盆.

2.基本上種子不可覆土,分散播下,要保濕但不可太濕有積水置於半日照涼爽處約10-20天會發芽,8-10週會長出本葉.
