Tropical touch

As plants that evolved near the equator,

Vireya Rhododendrons have no day length detector so they can flower at any time of year. Amazingly for such a tropical looking plant, they'll do some of their showiest blooming in winter. In frost-free locations, they perform well in pots or well-drained garden soil. LIKES - sun or part shade

FLOWERS - autumn, winter, spring

GROWS - up to 1m tall and wide for most varieties
