| Description | A dense evergreen shrub highly valued as a landscape ornamental. Large trusses of bright red flowers appear on even young plants. Thrives in cooler regions but benefits from protection from winter winds. An eye-catching standout in any garden. Very effective in foundation plantings or as an accent. |

| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Attracts Hummingbirds, Easy Care, Attracts Pollinators |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |

Avoid harsh afternoon sun exposures and shelter from drying winter winds. Water deeply, regularly in the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Feed with an acid fertilizer after bloom. |
| Lore | Rhododendron was named and classified by Linnaeus who named it from the Greek for rose tree. |
