With their magnificent blossoms, azaleas and rhododendrons provide a true explosion of colour in the spring.
The blossom colours range from soft white, pink and lachrose through to vivid yellow and fiery orange-reds, deep reds and purple violets. Rhododendron also cut a good figure as an evergreen throughout the rest of the year, which means they’re also a good possibility as hedge plants. The shrubs don’t mind shade and are also largely frost-resistant.
