Rhododendrons 
Rhododendron 
Catawbiense — 
(Catawba RhododendronI) 
This is probably the toughest 
and hardiest of all RHODODEN¬ 
DRONS for use in general planting. 
The flowers are borne in profusion 
in shades of orchid-pink and rose-purple, opening to large 
size in late May before the new growth is of any apprec¬ 
iable size. Many of the HYBRID RHODODENDRONS 
are duplicated by the shades of this hardy native plant. 
Rhododendron Catawbiense is usually the first 
choice in small plantings, as it can be relied upon to do 
well in most locations. 
Rhododendron Carolinianum Album — 
( White Carolina Rhododendron ) 
The general characteristics of this plant are quite simihar to the PlNK 
CAROLINA Rhododendron — small leaves and flowers, but the flowers of the 
album type are creamy-white or delicate shades of pink and the foliage is a lighter 
green. When planted in partial shade, which is the proper location, the plant 
takes a spreading habit. 
Rhododendron Minus ( Piedmont Rhododendron) 
Another small leaf type with rosy-pink clusters of flowers appearing in 
June and July, nestled at the base of the new growth. It is the most rapid 
growing of all RHODODENDRONS, and when planted in shaded conditions will take 
on a loose open habit of growth, bringing into prominence the rich maroon color of 
the stems. In the sun the plant assumes a more formal outline.
