We occasionally send a group order for rhododendron yearlings
(year-old rooted cuttings) to Van Veen Nursery, a wholesale propagator in Portland, Oregon.
Plants are shipped to us in the spring or fall, dependimg upon availability.
One restriction is that we must order at least 5 of a variety for
a wholesale order. If we do not meet their minimums we will not order the variety.
Some of the plants we have ordered from Van Veen are listed below
