Rhododendron 
Our state flower and probably the handsom- 
est of all broadleaved evergreens. The wealth 
of dark green glossy foliage serves as a back- 
ground to the numerous large clusters of gor- 
geous flowers which appear in spring and 
early summer. All colors are represented, 
white, pink, red and purple in all shades and 
tints. Rhododendrons are tolerant of shade and 
are beautiful for mass color effects. They are 
surface feeders, and require a mulch of peat 
moss or thick layer of leaves to keep the sur- 
face soil around the plants moist.
