Plant of the Month: Rhododendron and Azaleas
Rhododendron is a large genus of woody plants that are either evergreen or deciduous. Most species originate from eastern Asia and the Himalayas, although some types can also be found in North America, Europe, and Australia. The genus name comes from the Greek words meaning “rose tree,” and with good reason: they usually have brightly colored flowers (usually in purple, pink, white, and cream) that bloom even in late winter and all through early summer.
