AZALEA

(Plant heights are given at maturity)

Azaleas are some of the most popular and beautiful plants for the garden. Generally, they are better suited to warmer climates, though there are many varieties that will thrive in temperatures as low as -30F (-34.4C). Azaleas are members of the botanical genus Rhododendron (see our Rhododendron page for other varieties). The evergreen varieties are subgenus Tsutsusi. They originated in Japan and include many varieties and colors. The leaves are smaller than deciduous types (rarely longer than 2"). Deciduous varieties are subgenus Pentanthera and originated with native American varieties. The colors of both can range in shades of white, yellow (though there are no yellow evergreens), orange, red , pink & purple. They include many bicolors, stripes and speckled types. Blooms may be double, semi-double or single and may appear the same year after year, or may vary after a time in color and pattern. The growth habit may be upright, spreading or even weeping and they can vary in height from a foot or so up to 15ft. Most varieties are spring bloomers, though in very warm climates, they may bloom twice a year. Great for borders, as specimens or as potted plants. Try some!
