West Virginia State Flower
Rhododendron



The Rhododendron, the West Virginia state flower, is an evergreen shrub that is known for its showy clusters of colorful flowers. It can range in size from 3 to 10 feet tall, and its flowers come in colors ranging from white, yellow, pink and purple. The Rhododendron was chosen as the West Virginia state flower in 1903, and it is a fitting choice given its presence in the state's mountain forests. Rhododendrons are native to both Europe and Asia, and they were brought to the United States in the 1700s. In West Virginia, Rhododendrons are most often found in the forests of the Allegheny and Monongahela National Forests, where they make a stunning display in the spring and summer months. Rhododendrons are also known for their hardiness and ability to survive in cold climates, making them well suited to the mountainous terrain of West Virginia.
