Rhododendrons are among the most reliable plants that can be planted outdoors in the garden. They are evergreen, meaning their lush leaves are of great value in a winter landscape. In early spring, the rhododendrons burst forth with their bright flowers in a variety of colors.

In the mix:

Rhododendron 'Cunningham's White'
This rhododendron features stylish, wide-spreading white flowers. The lush shrub looks beautiful in a shrub border or as a specimen plant. The delicate white flowers create a lovely contrast against the dark green leaves.

Rhododendron Catawbiense
The Catawbiense has a striking and mystical bloom. The delicate, deep violet flowers stand in beautiful contrast to the dark green leaves. The lush shrub looks beautiful in a shrub border or as a specimen plant.

Rhododendron 'Elegans Pink'
The Elegans Pink stands out in the garden or on the balcony. The spectacular flowers are dark pink with a lighter center.

Care
A rhododendron is a robust shrub that is very undemanding. Ensure that the soil around the base of the plant does not dry out. Carefully cut off spent flowers without damaging the new bud underneath. If the shoots become too long, they can be trimmed back gently. Plant the rhododendron immediately upon receipt in a flower pot, balcony box, or in the ground. The rhododendron prefers acidic, humus-rich soil. Place it in partial or full shade. Also, make sure that the root ball remains consistently moist.
