Rhododendron Plants

"Rhododendrons are a real treat in the garden, delivering a spectacular show of colour when little else is in bloom. These hardy evergreens bring structure and year-round interest, while their bold, vibrant flowers steal the spotlight in spring. I�ve selected these varieties for their reliability, long-lasting beauty, and ability to thrive, whether in borders, pots, or woodland settings. If you're after an easy-care shrub that makes a real impact, you�re in the right place!"
Peter McDermott, Head Gardener

Why Grow Rhododendrons?
Rhododendrons are ultimate garden showstoppers, renowned for their breathtaking blooms and lush evergreen foliage. Bursting into life each spring, they produce vivid clusters of flowers in pinks, purples, reds, whites, and yellows, making them an essential choice for any garden needing a dramatic splash of colour. These shrubs are low maintenance, long-lived, and a favourite of gardeners looking for reliable, year-round interest.

Growing Tips for Healthy Rhododendrons
Rhododendrons prefer acidic, well-draining soil. If your garden soil is alkaline, grow them in containers using ericaceous compost. They do best in partial shade, though some varieties can handle more sun if kept well-watered.
Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Use an ericaceous fertiliser in early spring to promote strong growth and stunning flowers. Generally low-maintenance, but removing spent flowers helps direct energy into next year�s blooms.
