Growers welcome Rhododendron's star billing at Chelsea

Growers welcome Rhododendron's star billing at Chelsea

As reported in Horticulture Week on 8 April 2011: “Rhododendrons could be set for a revival in popularity following the RHS's decision to put a picture of the plant on the front cover of the Chelsea Flower Show catalogue.” …..

We are delighted that the RHS have chosen the historic print and hope that it will help raise awareness of these beautiful plants.

The image has been taken from the print shown here, painted by Lilian Snelling (1879-1972) from circa 1938. Copies are available to buy from http://www.rhsprints.co.uk
