cooking advice

which would be a better evergreen flowering shrub: Little Gem Magnolia or a Rhododendron?

can you not keep a Rhododendron pruned down to 4-5 feet? wil it look like a shrub and just as nice looking as a Rhododendron? how similar or how different?

A Little Gem (which is actually a tree) will get much taller than most Rhodys so it depends on what you want. Also, depending on your location, Little Gems are less hardy. In the northern half of the US a rhody will survive the winter much much much more reliably, but in the south a magnolia is probably better. Mags flower early spring and depending on the type of rhody they flower anywhere from early spring to early summer. Other good evergreen flowering shrubs include Mountain Laurel and Pieris.

Any shrub can be kept to 4-5 feet if you start pruning it early enough and frequently enough. If you don't want to put alot of time into pruning though look for a plant with a mature size of 4-6'. Some dwarf rhodys (like 'Yaku Princess') should be short enough for you.
