So, I have this rhododendron.....

Posted by smiles317 7 (My Page) on

And I hate it. I am sure many of you enjoy them...but it came with the house we moved into and I want to get rid of it. It is about 6ft high and 6 ft wide.

What can I put in to replace it....more bush-like then tree-like......

It is a shady/partial sun area. I would like something that would fill in the empty space.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

It would help to know where you live (generally) and what you might like: evergreen, flowers, fragrance?

You can also prune the rhododendron to be smaller.

I don't like the fact that it blooms...looks great for a few weeks, and then dies. So pruning wouldn't really be an option for me. I know that there is a PH issue with a Rhod, so something that would be able to produce in that spot would be great. I would prefer a flowering type- But not necessarily. Right next to it is a red tip photinia, so a small tree is out of the question.

I live in Zone 7...Delaware.
