Quick growing rhododendron or azalea - is there such a thing?

Posted: Today at 09:50

I want to plant a couple of rhodis or azaleas in my garden, but as they are expensive, I think they will only be around 2' high when I buy them. Do I plant them at the back of the border and expect them to double their size in 5 years, or are all varieties slow growing and should be put in the middle of the border?

What a beautiful hosta, Gail. Do you know its name?

She was only a virtual twin Blackest - invented to cover up my embarassment at having landed a balloon in the sea!

Busy-Lizzie, when i was looking through the Big Map thread I was amazed to see your photo of the Chateau de Hautefort, because we have just booked a gite only 2k from there! The owner is a keen gardener so i am looking forward to seeing what grows well down there!
