Rhododendron plants
Rhododendrons are grown for their abundant clusters of spectacular large flowers, usually borne in spring above an impressive structure of spirally arranged large, leathery evergreen leaves. Generally larger than Azaleas, Rhododendrons prefer a sheltered position in dappled shade and an acidic soil. They lend themselves well to informal plantings and woodland gardens, whilst dwarf alpine varieties are effective as rock garden plants. For deep red flowers in the rock garden consider Rhododendron Baden Baden or Rhododendron Dopey. Alternatively, Rhododendron Goldflimmer has attractive variegated evergreen foliage and Rhododendron Dwarf Curlew has stunning rich yellow flowers and makes a fantastic gift for that special occasion.
