Enchant Your Garden with the Year-Round Beauty of Rhododendron and Azalea Plants
The color, shape, size, and bloom time of Rhododendrons vary widely by variety. Most bloom once in spring, but some hybrids continue blooming until frost. Their magnificent flower clusters come in shades of red, pink, purple, orange, yellow, or white, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. With around 1,000 recognized species and numerous hybrids, including 30 North American natives, Rhododendrons range from tiny ground covers to towering trees. Popular species for home gardens include the fragrant R. arborescens, the vibrant R. calendulaceum, the native R. periclymenoides, the fragrant R. prinophyllum, and the swamp-loving R. viscosum.
Ideal for a variety of landscape uses, Rhododendrons and azaleas thrive in organically rich, well-draining, acidic soil. They prefer dappled sunlight and protection from harsh afternoon sun, making them excellent understory shrubs in naturalized settings. Whether as stunning specimen plants or integral landscape shrubs, Rhododendrons bring unparalleled beauty and versatility to your garden.
Rhododendron & Azalea Bush Planting and Care Tips
To ensure your Rhododendrons flourish, plant them in a location with dappled sunlight, ideally protected from the harsh afternoon sun. They thrive in organically rich, well-draining, acidic soil. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and keep the roots cool. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging the soil. Prune after the blooming season to maintain their shape and encourage new growth. With proper care, these resilient plants will reward you with vibrant blooms and lush foliage year after year.
