Large Hybrids

These are the well known tried and tested rhododendrons. They will go well in any medium sized garden, growing about 6" a year in average conditions, and reaching six foot after about twelve years.

Excellent for the shrub border, with their huge trusses of flowers, the modern plants are available in an exciting range of colours.

Yakushimanums

These were bred by crossing the large hybrids with a superb new species rhododendron - yakushimanum species - which was discovered in 1934 and only exists on the wind-swept rain-drenched mountain peaks of Yakushima Island in Japan.

These rhododendrons combine large flowers with a compact habit, reaching only about three foot after 12 years.

Suitable for any situation - even small front gardens, or patio tubs.

Dwarf Hybrids

Range from tiny alpine type plants, no more than a few inches high, to larger plants of two or three foot. The range shows a huge diversity in foliage type, flower shape, size and colour. Hence can be used for the rockery, the front of the border, tubs etc.

Famous are Cox’s bird varieties, bred at Glendoick. Why not grow a collection of them?

Evergreen Azaleas

These range in height from one to four foot after twelve years. Plant anywhere in the garden to give a mass of flower in mid spring.

The North Tisbury hybrids flower in late spring - early summer thus extending the season. They are compact growing, and will have a broad spread compared with their height. 

Deciduous Azaleas

Will grow to about 5 or 6 foot after twelve years. The flowers are large and often scented.

An added bonus with these plants is that many of them have brilliant leaf colour in autumn.

Can be planted anywhere in the garden, but beautiful in a massed planting, concentrating colour and scent together.
