4.9/5 (13720 ratings)

Description:Triffid or treasure? The rhododendron has its origins in China and the Himalayas but has long exerted a romantic fascination for Western travellers. It reached London in the 16th century. In the 19th century the rhododendron was taken up by gardening gurus Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens. Littleworth became a centre for rhododendron hybrids and its literary connections (the Tennysons were regular visitors in the 1870s) brought Johnny Millais, son of the artist, to the doorstep in the early 20th century. Millais founded the Rhododendron Society in 1915, though after the death of its chief supporter, Lionel Rothschild, it was taken over by the Royal Horticultural Society, to the indignation of its members. In the 20th century the discovery of numerous varieties of the vireya species opened a new era in rhododendron cultivation.
