Rhododendron spp.
Rhododendron

  • These large evergreen shrubs are covered in white flowers in early spring.

  • They grow best in part shade and rich, moist soil.

  • There are hundreds of varieties of rhododendron, some native to North America and many native to China and Japan.

  • The records for the specimens planted at Hauck Botanic Garden have been lost, so the exact cultivar is currently unknown.
