This spring, my rhododendrons have totally surprised me. Last year, they looked tired and barely bloomed. But now? They’re bursting with color, and I can’t stop staring at them. I think the secret was mulching early and making sure they got morning sun. I also started watering at the base instead of overhead, which kept the leaves happy. Plus, I tossed some coffee grounds around the roots—turns out, they love a little acidity. Watching these flowers explode with life makes all the effort worth it. Every time I walk by, I feel a little boost. If you’ve got a spot for them, give rhododendrons a try. They might just surprise you, too. #gardening #rhododendrons #springblooms
