    AZALEA - EVERGREEN

    A botanical section within the genus Rhododendron.

    Further divided into subgroups they commonly bear a profusion of small to large trusses of small single, semi-double or frilled, unscented, funnel- or trumpet-shaped flowers.

    Well-grown specimens appear as a solid mound of colour and are breathtaking as massed plantings.

    • Good to know
      Although prone to many pests and diseases, when grown well these shrubs are generally trouble-free. The pot azaleas seen at Christmas are Indica hybrids from central and southern China, developed in Belgium. Many evergreen azaleas are particularly effective planted in groups. They are surface-rooting and will not tolerate deep planting.
