Dwarf Rhododendrons
We have selected a choice range of dwarfs, mainly from top breeders Warren Berg (USA) and Peter Cox (Scotland). All are hardy and well proven, and generally flower in April. They range in height from tiny gems such as R. keiskei 'Yaku Fairy', and up to heights of around 80cm in 10 years.
