Insights
This desirable shrub was bred in 1930 by crossing v. grandiflorum with v. farreri. It was named after the place in which it was bred, the superb Bodnant Gardens in the foothills of Snowdonia, North Wales, where in the early 1870s the industrialist and passionate gardener Henry Pochin originally sponsored some of the greatest plant collectors of the time to travel the globe collecting plants.
