Azalea & Rhododendron

Help with selecting a suitable variety

13 years ago

I live in southern Ontario in zone 5b. I have a protected area in which I would like to plant a rhodendron (either a pink or light purple variety) that would grow 4 or 5 feet in height. Would anyone have any suggestions about what variety would be most suitable and trouble free to grow.

Thank you
