Rhododendron

Rhododendrons are magnificent evergreen shrubs loved for their spectacular spring blooms and lush, glossy foliage. Flowering from April to June, they produce large clusters of vibrant flowers in shades of pink, red, purple, yellow, and white — creating a bold, eye-catching display that brightens borders and woodland gardens.

These long-lived shrubs thrive in acidic, well-drained soil and prefer partial shade, making them perfect for woodland-style planting or north-facing gardens. Their dense foliage provides year-round structure, while their spring flowers attract pollinators and bring the garden to life.

Popular varieties include Rhododendron ‘Cunningham’s White’, Nova Zembla’, and ‘Goldflimmer’, all known for their reliable flowering and strong garden performance. For a coordinated ericaceous display, pair Rhododendrons with Azaleas, Camellias, and Pieris for a garden that bursts with colour every spring.
