Description
The Catawba rhododendron variety (Rhododendron catawbiense) is a broadleaf evergreen bush that has dark green, leathery foliage, and spring flowers that are great for attracting hummingbirds. This rhododendron shrub is easy to transplant, but it does require an acidic soil and prefers a shady location. Flowers can be white, lavender, rose or the red that hummingbirds so love. Catawba rhododendron bushes can reach a height of 6'-8' with a spread of 4'-6'. Displays are most effective when rhododendron bushes are massed together.

What an exciting portrait of rhododendrons. It's the state flower of West Virginia, my homestate and I've always been partial to this lovely shrub. What poetry you have created!!! F/L+
