Norfolk’s largest collection of rhododendrons is at Hoveton Hall Gardens

Over 200 Varieties of Rhododendrons and AzaleasMay and early June are the best times to come and see the collection of rhododendrons and azaleas at Hoveton Hall Gardens. “With over 200 varieties growing here, this is probably the largest collection in Norfolk,” says Hoveton’s head horticulturalist Stewart Wright. “The collection was started in the 1920s.  In some years the display begins in February with the early flowering species such as Rhododendron (R) calophytum and R. praestans.  As spring progresses more and more varieties come into bloom. By May the display is glorious.”
