Rhododendrons

Rhododendrons are classic evergreen shrubs featuring large clusters of showy flowers in shades ranging from pink and red to purple and white. Their glossy green foliage provides year-round structure and texture in landscapes.

Thriving in partial shade, they prefer acidic, well-draining soil and consistent moisture. These low maintenance, pollinator-friendly, and fragrant outdoor shrubs are perfect for foundation plantings, woodland gardens, or massed displays. They are also pet safe and beginner-friendly, making them a versatile choice for many landscapes.

Maintenance Tip:
Prune after flowering to avoid removing next year’s buds. Maintain acidic, well-draining soil, water consistently, and mulch to retain moisture. Fertilize in early spring with an acid-loving plant food.
