Rhododendrons are popular shrubs known for their mass of flowers. They regularly put on a spectacular show of colour in early summer with a wide colour palette from pinks and purples to fiery reds, oranges and yellows. Thriving in acidic conditions, they make for a wonderful structural plant with many cultivars being evergreen, but even the deciduous ones can put on some spectacular autumn foliage colours.
