Acer

Commonly referred to as  Japanese maples. Slow growing small shrubs and trees renowned for either their spring or autumn (sometimes both!) foliage. A wide variation in habit, colour, leaf shape etc!  A plant for the connoiseur, and you’ve probably guessed, my favourite.

Azalea

Strictly, these plants no belong to the genus Rhododendron.
Many gardeners and nurseries continue to refer to this group as Azaleas, and since they are the main contributors to this web site, Ive gone with the flow!

Camellia

Slow growing shrubs with beautiful blooms in spring on lush evergreen foliage. A good architectural plant. Flowers are not unlike those of a rose but, in most cases, they appear a couple of months earlier.

We’ve included this because... well, we’ve got our first account of the discovery and consolidation of a Chrysanthemum cultivar.
