Dwarf Rhododendrons. There is great variation in the height to which 
these small rhododendrons will grow. If planted in the open to take 
the brunt of weather they remain low in form; in shade they grow 
much taller. In the mountain wilds of Asia many of them form 
extensive windswept moorlands or alpine pastures, now on flattish 
uplands and again on steep slopes. To give them their best setting 
they should be planted en masse as much as possible. For those 
who must “collect” (my own inborn vice which I make no slightest 
attempt to restrain) it is possible to group species in such a way 
that they are in complete accord. For example; all the blue-flowered 
aromatic members of the Lapponicum Series are very pretty in 
groups. They will grow in exposed situations and bogs as: well. 
They will provide us with abundant bloom in spring and with an 
autumnal spattering of blues and purples. With a few of the yellow 
Lapponicums for accent they make a charming picture. 
The number of x’s before the rhododendron indicates the rating 
given by the Rhododendron Society of England. Their absence is 
not a sign that the plant is worthless; often that the plant has not 
yet been considered. It is not likely that we shall see exactly eye 
to eye with the judgments.
