Azaleas are showstopping flowering shrubs known for their vivid blooms and vibrant colour in spring. Bursting into flower from April to June, they fill the garden with masses of blossoms in pink, red, orange, white, and purple, creating one of the most spectacular seasonal displays. Whether you choose evergreen or deciduous varieties, Azaleas bring beauty, structure, and texture to any garden.
Thriving in acidic, well-drained soil and partial shade, these hardy shrubs are perfect for borders, woodland gardens, or containers planted with ericaceous compost. Their compact size makes them ideal for smaller gardens too.
Popular varieties include Azalea japonica, Azalea mollis, and Azalea ‘Homebush’, all loved for their long flowering season and rich colour. Combine Azaleas with Rhododendrons, Camellias, and Pieris for a stunning, coordinated spring display full of depth and life.
