A very wide variety of rhododendrons is available with different growing habits, flower colour, time of flowering and hardiness to meet the needs of different garden situations. For advice on the best varieties for your needs, contact us.

We have over 700 species rhododendrons and hybrid rhododendrons in our garden, many of which have been grown from seed. We are currently growing 200 varieties in our nursery and are constantly propagating more. We specialise in the less commonly grown varieties, so if you are looking for something specific, then just ask!
