This is the first time Gardens by the Bay introduce Rhododendrons for its floral display. The name Rhododendron (mouthful of a name) derived from an ancient Greek words, “rodon dendron” meaning Rose Tree.
The rhododendron is referred to as the king of shrubs since it is regarded by many as the best flowering evergreen plant for the temperate landscape.
Rhododendron is a large and extremely diverse genus, comprising approximately 850 species and native chiefly to the north temperate zone in the Himalayas and Southeast Asia.
The shrub has tubular to funnel-shaped flowers that come in a wide range of colours like pink, purple, white and yellow, which are usually borne in spring. Each flower bears 10 stamens and may be scented.
Spring in New Zealand begins in September, which is when the rhododendrons in the country’s renowned parks and gardens bloom. With perpetual spring in the climate-controlled Flower Dome, visitors to Flower Dome will get to enjoy the beautiful rhododendrons of New Zealand the same time that New Zealanders are experiencing these blooms.
