6th January 2021. In line with the current government lockdown rules, Burncoose Nurseries is closed to visitors. However at present we are able to offer click and collect to local customers. This will be weekdays only, not weekends.
Mail order is continuing as normal. However please allow extra time for the couriers to deliver, once despatched from us. Sorry to say that some depots are experiencing high volumes of traffic, also staff shortages.
Rhododendrons
There are so many rhododendron hybrids to choose from that creating a list of our recommendations and specialities has to be determined by what grows best with us here at Burncoose in the woodland gardens.
(Over 30 acres which are open all year, free entry!).
The plants on our list have three great attributes:-
- They are only small or medium sized plants suitable for smaller gardens.
- They are all tough, hardy and easy varieties to grow.
- Their display is exceptional with regards to either flower or scent.
If you have room for rhododendrons which will grow into large shrubs then our selection has to include the very best at Burncoose, 'Cornish Red', loderi 'King George', and 'Fastuosum flore pleno'.
