The Maddenias, named after
Lieutenant-Colonel E. Madden, are a subsection within a large
group of rhododendron species that have scales on the young
growth and the underside of leaves. Some of them have huge,
scented flowers that stand out in any garden situation. Maddenia
species are well suited to our mild New Zealand climate and many
hybrids have been produced from them in this country, most
notably by Felix and Mark Jury of Taranaki and by Ron and Ian
Gordon of Taihape. This garden bed contains a selection of
species and their hybrids. |
