AMERICA’S MOST BEAUTIFUL NATIVE SHRUBS 
CAROLINA RHODODENDRON— R. carolinianum 
This variety flowers in early May and because of its profuse bloom many 
consider it the most beautiful of the native Rhododendrons. The individual 
flowers are smaller than the two preceding varieties but are borne in greater 
numbers. Flower clusters are two to four inches across and vary from a light 
blush-pink to a deep rose-pink. The small, rich green leaves, rusty underneath, 
turn bronze-green in the fall. The plants are prolific bloomers and become 
somewhat dwarf in habit when planted in full sunlight.
