Maria Stewart’s Rhododendron

From 2013 to 2023, Maria Stewart wrote a monthly article for ARS Portland’s Rhododendron News that highlighted her favorite rhododendrons. In October 2023, she compiled her writings along with the following note:

Over these last 10 years, Mike and I have chosen to write about rhododendron varieties primarily from our own collection. So, much of the information in the articles comes from personal experience both from seeing and studying them in the wild, and from growing them for production purposes during our Dover Nursery business years.

Although we have been retired for several years, our passion centers around enjoying these plants, and further developing our collection and garden. From the extremely large leaf of Rhododendron sinogrande to the variety of intense flower colors found in deciduous azaleas, to the tiny leaves and flowers of dwarf rhododendrons, one can’t help but to be fascinated with the diverse beauty of rhododendrons. You always are welcome to come visit, share a few stories and adventures, stroll through our display areas, and enjoy companionship and rhododendrons with us.

Best wishes to all of you, and happy reading.

—Maria Stewart
