In this episode of Conversations with Alaskan Gardeners, David and Conor from Landscape Alaska dig into what’s happening in Juneau gardens as a cool, late-growing season finally begins to come alive.They talk rhododendrons and deciduous azaleas, climbing hydrangeas, honeysuckle, spirea, midsummer perennials, and why some plants simply handle Southeast Alaska better than others. David also explains how to spot rhododendron root weevils, how beneficial nematodes can help control them, and why rhododendrons should be fertilized before July 4 if you want a strong bloom the following year.
