The sale will take place in the back service lot near the Exhibit Hall and Meadow lawn.

Friends of Crystal Springs will have early access to the sale beginning at 9:00am on Saturday, May 11. Please show your pass at the gatehouse for entry.

This year’s sale will consist of mostly #1 and #2 size plants (1 gallon and 2 gallon). There will not be any mature specimens on sale this year.

The Crystal Springs Mother’s Day Rhododendron Show is a decades-long tradition that celebrates and awards excellence in rhododendron cultivation. Bring your trusses and sprays to display and compete for prizes!

Do you have a beautiful rhododendron growing in your landscape? Even if you’re not sure what type of rhododendron it is, you can still enter your truss or spray!

Entries for the show will be accepted at the Exhibit Hall starting at 7:00am on Saturday, May 11. If you have an armload of trusses/sprays or smaller, please use the main gate to enter. If you are bringing a larger number of entries, you may use the back service road to deliver your trusses and sprays. Please email us for more information.

The show will open to the public at 12:00pm on Saturday, May 11 after judging has been completed.
