Question
I WOULD LIKE TO PLANT SOME RHODIES AND AZALEAS, BUT THE ONLY PLACE I HAVE IS SUNNY MOST OF THE DAY.  CAN YOU SUGGEST ANY THAT WILL TAKE SUN.  I LIVE IN FLORENCE OR.
THANK  YOU

Answer
Hi Verna,
Thanx for your question.  Sunlight should not be a problem for your azaleas and rhododendrons.  There are numerous cultivars available at your local nurseries.  When I lived in NW Florida, there were a lot of azaleas and rhododendrons growing beautifully in that hot, muggy climate.  Your local nursery will have everything you need for your particular area.  A lot of peple think that these plants are shade plants.  They will tolerate shade in hotter climates but you have the perfect climate, even with sun for these shrubs.  I hope this helps.
