Azaleas Azaleas are often called "the royalty of the garden". There are literally thousands of named varieties. Each year we select new varieties to compliment our tried and true standbys in an effort to meet your preferences and growing conditions. Azaleas make up part of the genus Rhododendron. Originally Azaleas were classed as a different genus of plant, but now they are recognized as two of the eight sub-genera of rhododendrons, deciduous and evergreen. One major difference between Azaleas and the rest of the rhododendron family is their size. Another is their flower growth; rhododendrons grow their flowers in stripers, while most Azaleas have terminal blooms (one flower per flower stem). However, they have so many stems that during the flowering season they are a solid mass of color. Azaleas are recognized by these flowers blooming all at once, in a showy display for a month or two in spring. The exception to this rule is a small group of Azaleas which grow their flowers in tight terminal clusters Back to Trees & Shrubs Page or Close Page to Return to Lawn & Garden Home Page Click on Image to Enlarge |
