West Virginia State Flower: Rhododendron

West Virginia State Flower Coloring

Rhododendron is the State Flower of West Virginia. They grow on a woody shrub and have a lovely scent. The shrub usually grows up to 15 feet but can actually grow up to 40 feet high and be pruned to look like a tree. They attract Butterflies and Hummingbirds. They are native to Asia and North America both. 

They grow all over West Virginia so it's easy to see why they were chosen as the State Flower there. Rhododendrons can be White, but usually they are Pink, or Salmon Red, or Purple. They bloom in May or June.
