Large, upright evergreen shrubs with masses of beautiful flowers in mid-spring. This is an outstanding form selected from Branklyn Garden in Scotland and, according to my own notes, is “a dark blue form, better than ‘Electra’”. Our first offering. Easily grown in sun or shade and very floriferous. Great with white and pink flowered rhododendrons.
Our own named selection of this slow-growing and choice, compact deciduous shrub with a somewhat horizontally branched and rounded habit. The foliage of this selection is bright blue-green and colors attractively in the autumn. The exquisite pale rose-pink flowers (mid-spring) are small and bell-shaped, hanging in clusters and covered with a glaucous "bloom" (like a plum). Perfect in a woodland garden but also quite successful in full sun if well-watered. Native to Japan. Our best “blue-leaved” form of this variable species.
One of the most spectacular of species, with trumpet-like creamy yellow to greenish yellow flowers up to four inches in length, peeling bark and large bold foliage. Requires excellent drainage. Makes a fine specimen in a container and will bloom much younger if grown in this fashion.
A new introduction into cultivation, these are dwarf epiphytic evergreen shrubs with thick and leathery, elliptic to oblong leaves. The small but bright yellow flowers hang singly or in pairs from the tips of the branches. They are bell-shaped with widely flaring lobes. This is one of several closely related taxa newly introduced from S Yunnan and adjacent N Vietnam. Many of these have only recently been described as new species by Chinese botanists. Quite hardy for a vireya - we have grown it successfully out in the garden for at least 20 years now.
An evergreen azalea with rose-red to bright scarlet flowers in early summer. This clone grown from seed collected wild in Japan. A heat tolerant species with very narrow, fine-textured foliage.
A large-growing and vigorous, shade, heat and cold-tolerant species that flowers in early to mid-summer. This is a selection from the Polly Hill Arboretum.
A compact-growing, horizontally branched deciduous species with distinctively-shaped obovate foliage arranged in whorls on the branch tips. The stunning flowers are typically white to pink or rose with reddish spots. Excellent fall foliage color and very hardy. The Royal Azalea is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful of all species. Long-lived, relatively slow-growing and best in sun or light shade.
A relatively newly introduced big-leaf species with large, pale to deep yellow flowers in mid-spring. Very vigorous and attractive with great flowers and foliage. Reported hardy to +8 F along the east coast and showing some signs of heat tolerance in the southeast. A very vigorous grower, best in light shade like any other big-leaf. Stunning in foliage and flower. These are grown from hand-pollinated seed produced here in the garden.
This smaller growing tropical species has extremely narrow, deep green and shiny, “grass-like” leaves unlike any other rhododendron. The bell-shaped flowers are orange-red from scarlet buds. Always attracts attention – one of the most unusual of all species. Great in a hanging basket and blooms throughout most of the winter.
