| Penton Mill Rhododendrons has
been established in its’ current location since 2001,
having previously traded as Muncaster Plants at Muncaster
Castle in West Cumbria. Our plants are cultivated from seed,
grafts and cuttings, resulting in an outstanding collection
which includes many varieties not widely available. Much of
the seed has been personally collected whilst on expeditions
to such places as Yunnan and Sichuan provinces in south-west
China and south-east Tibet.
Whatever
size your garden there will be a Rhododendron to suit - it
is a common misconception that you can not grow Rhododendrons
in a small garden and one which we are more than happy to
prove wrong! These magnificent plants have been enjoyed in
British gardens since about 1830, many of the original plantings
still exist and produce superb floral displays every year.
Within the Rhododendron family, which includes Azaleas, can
be found a wide range of sizes, colours and shapes. We hope
that the details and descriptions included in our catalogue,
which is arranged in size groups and colours, will help you
with making your selection. Please note that the catalogue
should only be used as a guide, our stock does vary and you
will need to check availability by contacting us either by
telephone - 01228 577336 - by using the on-line
enquiry form or by letter. We are always delighted to help
in any way and invite you to visit our nursery but please
telephone first as opening times vary throughout the year.
