everblooming azaleas and some dicentra
Last year I purchased 3 everblooming azaleas from Plant Addicts in the East Coast, but when I try to find similar azaleas in local nurseries they are not available, do you know why? Also, I am finding the same issue for a few new Dicentra -Bleeding Heart plants that apparently will bloom from Spring to Fall provided the plants are deadheaded. The same is true for the Azaleas.
I look forward to your response, Marianne.

Your new plants sound amazing (but perhaps a little hard to believe that an azaleas would flower all year) and I suspect you purchased some rare new plants that are not yet available on a national level. This is because new varieties take time to build up stock and if they are from a small grower there may not ever be enough for national distribution. The bleeding heart also sound like an amazing new plants and I have not heard of everblooming bleeding heart so again, they must be from a small grower with a small stock of plants. Keep looking and asking as you never know when new plants will show up at local nurseries and that is part of the fun of gardening. It is a treasure hunt every time you make a nursery run. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
