Trumpeter of spring: rhododendrons

Rhododendrons may seem like an old-fashioned choice for some, but in late August and early September, when Tasmania is sloughing through its coldest and most dreary months, a kaleidoscope of tubular-shaped flowers begin to appear in gardens, announcing the promise of spring.

When rhodos are in bloom it’s a most wonderful and spectacular show, one which often extends into early summer. Throughout the world there is now an unbelievable variety of rhododendrons available.
