Bare is best when placing a baby to sleep in a crib. By creating the toughest crib safety standards in the world and urging parents to keep pillows, quilts, heavy blankets, and sleep positioners out of the crib, CPSC has made great strides to ensure that babies and toddlers have a safe sleep.
Dexter Estate photo. In the Philadelphia and New York City areas, our best rhododendrons bloom from mid-May to June first or even through the first week in June. We do have R. mucronulatum, and a few of its varieties and hybrids, in late March and early April, and we do have R. maximum in late June and early July.
Water your rhododendron in the cool of the morning. Provide 1 inch of water per week during the summer in the first three years after planting, preferably with a soaker hose. The plant's roots are shallow and require a steady supply of water as moisture from the top few inches of soil evaporates in seasonal heat.
