Azaleas – Our Collection
Buy Azaleas Online
Azaleas have been prized by European gardeners since they arrived on our shores hundreds of years ago, these showy flowering shrubs are native to the Far East, Middle East and The Americas and they are part of the genus Rhododendron.
In fact when you examine the flowers closely, Azaleas are almost like miniature Rhododendrons and their flowers display a similar colour palette. It is the case that if you have a smaller garden Azaleas are the perfect choice to give that fabulous burst of colour in early Spring, the flowering lasts for several weeks and Azaleas are so accommodating – thriving when underplanted beneath trees, in a mixed border or in containers. These really are showstoppers for their vibrancy of colour too.
Deciduous Azaleas & Evergreen Azaleas

Azaleas are pretty much divided into two groups – Deciduous Azaleas and Evergreen Azaleas and their growth height and rate are affected by which group the shrub belongs to – typically the Evergreen Azaleas are slower growing and reach circa 80cm after 10 years whereas the Deciduous Azaleas tend to grow a little faster and taller reaching around 150cm in the same time period. Either type are perfect for smaller gardens whereas perhaps a Rhododendron might be too large.
