A riot of colour in the spring garden
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. Well suited to Tasmania’s cool climate, rhododendrons are beautiful feature plants for woodland gardens, shady borders and sheltered spots.
Find the right rhododendron for your garden
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. Choose from golden trumpets to lilac skirts, fragrant blossoms to variegated leaves. Consider the space you have and the colours you’d like to bring into your garden.
