Azaleas
Azaleas are called "the royalty of the garden." Some of the species or the many thousands of named varieties are sure to meet your preferences and growing conditions.
Azaleas have been hybridized for hundreds of years. Over 10,000 different azalea plants have been registered or named, although far fewer are in the trade. This provides a very wide variety of plant habits, sizes, colors and bloom times to meet almost every landscaping need or personal preference.
