Occasional warm spells in the depths of winter mustn\u2019t waken the plants, because the following week the temperature might plunge to -30 \u00b0C. The rhododendron species native to the area, including the Carolina rhododendron, are rated among the world\u2019s hardiest. It is stated in the USA to be hardy to -31 \u00b0C, and new growth and flowers are exceptionally hardy.<\/p>\n<p>The Carolina rhododendron belongs to the so-called lepidote group, characterised by surface scales, whose successful representatives in Finland are usually sub-shrubs, small-leaved with small flowers. By comparison, the Carolina rhododendron is large, large-leaved and large-flowered, usually pink or white. Flowering generally occurs in Finland in early June.<\/p>\n<p>The decorative value of the species is affected by its tendency to drop all the previous season\u2019s leaves in autumn. In winter it is not particularly noteworthy, but the summer show makes up for this. The genes of this species are found in many hardy varieties, among them the well-known PJM-group.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"keywords\">\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ryhmittely\">Lehtipuut ja -pensaat<\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Rhododendron<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Rhododendron carolinianum<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Rhododendron minus<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Rhododendron minus  var. minus Carolinianum-ryhm\u00e4<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8630,"template":"","alueet":[],"kasvilajit":[1150],"class_list":["post-15639","kasvit","type-kasvit","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kasvilajit-rhododendron"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit\/15639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kasvit"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"alueet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alueet?post=15639"},{"taxonomy":"kasvilajit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvilajit?post=15639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
