Dingmans Falls Rhododendrons: Rhododendron are plentiful in the ravine because they thrive in acidic soil. Although hybrid varieties of rhododendron bloom in May, you will have to wait until July to see the large, pinkish-white blooms of the PA native plant in this ravine.
Rhododendron leaves curl tightly under when it is cold outside, reducing the surface area exposed to cold and conserving heat and moisture. If food is scarce, whitetail deer may browse on rhododendron, however all parts of this plant and its sap are extremely poisonous for humans.
