All of these lanky rhododendron divisions were planted last year. I wanted to see what would happen if I didn’t prune them back. Most have new growth at their bases and many actually bloomed.

A couple of lanky rhododendron subdivisions. I ended up leaving the topgrowth on, instead of pruning it off, so they’d have something to photosynthesize. We covered their disproportionately small root masses with compost and leaf mulch, then weighted them down with rocks.
