The Rosebay rhododendron (Rhododendron maximum) is a large, hardy species native to the eastern U.S. It features pale pink to white flowers blooming in late June to July and large, dark green evergreen leaves. It can grow 15 feet tall and wide, with a dense, bushy form. Preferring partial to full shade and well-drained, acidic soil, it requires regular watering and benefits from mulching. Hardy in USDA zones 3 to 7, it needs minimal pruning and is generally pest-resistant. Ideal for hedges, foundation plantings, specimen displays, and naturalized areas, it adds significant visual interest to gardens.
