Pacific Rhododendron Rhododendron macrophyllum 100 Seeds

Rhododendron macrophyllum, commonly known as the Pacific Rhododendron or California Rosebay, is a species of rhododendron native to the Pacific Northwest region of North America, particularly in coastal areas from British Columbia to northern California. This stunning broadleaf evergreen shrub typically grows to heights of 5 to 15 feet (1.5 to 4.5 meters) but can occasionally reach up to 30 feet (9 meters) in optimal conditions. It features large, leathery leaves that are elliptical to oblong in shape, measuring 4 to 10 inches (10 to 25 centimeters) in length. The leaves are dark green and glossy on the upper surface, with a lighter green underside. In late spring to early summer, Rhododendron macrophyllum produces showy clusters of bell-shaped flowers at the ends of its branches. The flowers vary in color from pale pink to deep rose and are marked with darker spots or blotches. Each cluster can contain numerous individual blossoms, adding a splash of color to the woodland understory.
