Rhododendrons

There are more than 1,000 different natural species in the Genus Rhododendron. Our garden, the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden, is a 22-acre ‘living museum’ and home to one of the largest collections of species rhododendrons and azaleas in the world.

RSBG displays over 700 species from the wilds of North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, as well as various companion plants.

Read About Rhododendrons to find out more, or delve into some of the species profiles.  Browse the photos or order some of our spectacular and unusual specimens.
