| Can anyone point me to a lower North Island* retail outlet or mail order source for Satsuki azaleas, please?
I asked at local garden centres and got either blank stares or 'don't you mean Camellia?'
I'm particularly looking for 'Issho No Haru' (Spring of a Lifetime) or 'Daishuhai'(Great Vermillion Cup).
*up to Palmerston North/Waipukurau/Bulls.
Thanks.
PS Upper South Island is also a possible - Blenheim-Havelock area. |

Daishuhai, is in the palmers tree and shrub book so it must of been here at some time.
The problem is if the plant is not popular the growers don't bother too much propagating them but usually have the mother plants

| Thanks, Heather. I've seen them in Geoff Bryant's book, too. Late flowering so they come right into summer. (They might have done well this year...plenty cool enough for them!) There used to be a nursery in Dannevirke, I think, that was good for species Rhodos, but I've not seen their name for a long time. Fingers still crossed. |
