Larger leathery leaves that persist through winter distinguish a rhodo from the smaller azalea. Clusters of bell shaped flowers often fragrant, appear in early to late spring on both plants. All members of the rhodo family must have adequate moisture and well drained acidic soil to prosper. They like part sun to shade.
We have transplanted one of the bigger rhodos from the area of the yard where we are building our pond. It is now located just outside the patio doors of my studio and we are hoping it will give us a show of bright flowers through the window here.
... in June the rhodo that we transplanted was in full bloom! Nice!
