Its showy flowers bloom from spring to early in the summer, and it is hardy from zones 3 to 9. There are many varieties of rhododendron, with species barely two feet tall to some that reach 20 feet. Choose the variety you plant carefully, taking into consideration the plant's mature height and the area where you plan to plant. In addition to hummingbirds, the rhododendron attracts bees.
