 We have noticed that many nurseries are starting to look alike and are featuring the same plant selections.  You will find particularly good selections of species rhododendrons at Wells-Medina (Seattle, Medina), Portland Avenue (Tacoma), Bay Hay and Feed (Bainbridge Island), Valley (Poulsbo), Christianson’s (Mt. Vernon), Emery's Garden (Lynnwood) and Meerkerk Gardens (Whidby Island).

 
But if you don’t find what you are looking for, give us a call and come out to the nursery or visit us on one of our “open garden” days.  If you’re out of the area, we’ll arrange shipping.

At the Arboretum Plant Sale, Ciscoe Morris gave our rhododendron kesangiae a white balloon, his marker for plants one "absolutely can't do without." 
You can still acquire a kesangiae for yourself or as a gift for a special person.  The new growth on these easy-to-grow big-leaf rhodies is as pretty as many flowers!  Call us (206-383-2713)!

We hope you will visit the fine nurseries that carry our plants.  Click on Nurseries and Associations  to find one near you.
