When in full bloom, Azaleas are irresistable, so visit your garden centre this spring to select your very own favourite, favourites!
Azaleas and Rhododendrons must be one of the best-loved sights of spring, when their brilliant blooms are produced in such abundance, they almost totally smother the leaves. And, although these popular ornamentals bloom for only a relatively short season, by selecting various species, and newer cultivars with different blooming times, the blooming season can be extended greatly.
Azaleas and Rhododendrons are also grown for their wonderful form, and the evergreen varieties are perfect additions to any garden, providing structure, and an attractive backdrop for other garden plants, throughout the year. If you can provide their basic needs, and plant them carefully, they’ll give you decades of low-maintenance enjoyment.
