Oh radiant rhododendrons! Our side yard is shady most of the day with a little morning light (hence the halos you see above). Fantastic, versatile rhododendrons are planted along the gentle slope. Soon, we'll add an understory of ferns. I wanted to co-plant the two after noticing the slopes at the base of some of the Poconos-- tall trees, and under the dappled light, rhododendrons and ferns. Lovely, gentle, purple bloom in the spring, and year-round green.

Nature is the best inspiration. When building our shade garden in this region of the yard, we automatically decided to mimic what seems to work well in this region on a whole.
