There are number of effective companion plants to use in the landscape with rhododendrons and azaleas, both to extend the flowering season and provide contrasts with either the flowers or foliage of the rhododendrons and azaleas. Some of the best trees and shrubs are dogwood (Cornus), mountain laurel (Kalmia), and holly (Ilex), along with many of the conifers. Bulbs such as snowdrops (Galanthus), daffodils (Narcissus), and lilies (Lilium) work well in these situations. Well-established plantings of snowdrops may start to flower in early January and the lilies may extend the flowering season through much of the summer. Perennials such as hostas (Hosta), foxgloves (Digitalis), and bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis), as well as a number of others, also grow well with rhododendrons.
