Summary
Luxuriant and bold, rosebay rhododendron is a stunning broad-leaved evergreen for the garden or naturalized in the woodland landscape. This multi-stemmed, upright spreading shrub can grow 10-12′ tall and wide under ideal conditions. In early summer, mature branches produce large clusters, or trusses, with up to 25 white to pale pink flowers. Rosebay rhododendron requires filtered shade to shade and acid soils, but can tolerate more sun if soils are moist and well drained. Rhododendron maximum grows well with Tsuga canadensis, Leucothoe fontanesiana, Halesia tetraptera, Chionanthus virginicus, Polystichum acrostichoides, Rhododendron periclymenoides, Asarum canadense, and Hexastylis arifolia.
