A
quiet period, but there are some species, depending on the weather,
still flowering. Rhododendron 'Nobleanum Group', Rhododendron
dauricum 'Midwinter', Rhododendron 'Choremia' are
the main interest as well as a large plant of Rhododendron falconeri subsp. eximium x montroseanum. This
can be spectacular on the back boundary wall near the path to Exotic
Hollow. Unfortunately it's off-pink flowers are frosted but makes up
for this with its long flowering period. |
