RHODODENDRONS 
A lovely, hardy broadleaved evergreen with beautiful flowers of many different 
colors to select from. They are native to our Northwest and are world known for 
their great beauty. They are easy to grow and do well in climates which do not 
get too cold. Check our planting guide for best results in growing. By planting 
the early, midseason and late blooming varieties you can have a long season of 
beauty. They follow the Camellia in their blooming season, so by using both of 
them in your landscape you can have months of blooming color in your yard be- 
sides having the evergreenfoliage to look at the year around. 
In hot summer climates plants prefer afternoon shade and water on foliage 
during long, dry spells. 
All of the Rhododendrons withstood 9° below zero in Portland three winters 
ago with only damage to the flower buds on some varieties. Many of the hardy 
varieties came through 20° zero ina nearby town.
