Rhododendrons
Article Abstract:
Rhododendrons make good shade garden plants and provide big, beautiful flowers in the spring and summer. Rhododendrons should be planted with other shade-loving plants, such as coniferous evergreens. Small bright flowers such as sweet woodruff or lily-of-the-valley do well under rhododendrons and brighten their appearance. Tips for growing rhododendrons and designing a shade garden are included.
