Rhododendron (Rhododendron pachysanthum) is a shrub with white flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade. It blooms from early to late spring, and each truss holds 10 to 20 flowers. Bees visit the blooms, and the undersides of the leaves have a thick, rusty-brown coating.
