For more than 60 years Rhodo Glen has been growing plants for Australian gardeners. We specialise and are passionate about Camellias.

We hope as you browse through our website you find both inspiration and practical advice to select the best varieties for your garden or landscaping project.

Rhododendrons require very similar growing conditions to camellias, our Planting Guide outlines how to plant and care for both rhododendrons and camellias. The biggest difference between rhododendrons and camellias when landscaping your garden is shape or form. Rhododendrons are generally rounded shrubs where their height and width are often quite similar, whereas camellias in general will achieve a height that is 1.5 to 2 times their width. In summary rhododendrons are quite useful for filling larger spaces with less plants over time. The larger varieties make an excellent backdrop to smaller shrubs in wide garden beds and under and adjacent to large trees. In many old established gardens you will see rhododendrons growing happily under large deciduous or evergreen trees.

Rhododendrons generally perform best in lightly shaded areas protected from hot afternoon sun. We grow a range of varieties in many colours as listed below, please feel free to contact us via the contact form if you require further information. A google search will give you a better idea of flower form and colour until we create our own pictorial listing.

Please note: Rhododendrons are generally available from March to September
