Commonly classed as either rhododendrons or azaleas, these popular woodland shrubs put on spectacular flowering displays from spring to early summer. Rhododendrons are usually medium or large evergreen shrubs, while azaleas tend to be smaller and may be evergreen or deciduous. Azalea flowers are usually smaller, but come in a more vivid array of shades, and are sometimes gloriously fragrant. Most rhododendrons and azaleas require acid soils.
| Soil: | Ericaceous Soil |
| Aspect: | Part shade/dappled shade |
| Max Height: | Variable |
| Extra Info: | Rhododendrons grow best in areas of high rainfall. Even on suitably acid soils they are more difficult to grow successfully in the drier parts of the country. Tap water, especially in hard water districts, contains too much calcium for rhododendrons, reducing acidity around their roots. |
| Type: | Evergreen or Deciduous |
| Toxicity: | Toxic to animals if ingested in large quantities |
