Azaleas are related to Rhododendrons and are one of the most colourful of the Spring flowering shrubs in the UK and with fabulous continuing flowering for several weeks during April/May/June, it’s no wonder they are one of the most popular gifts for Mother’s Day and Easter.

Azalea Japonica ‘Snow’ pure white variety
Growing Tip: Azalea Japonica has a shallow root system so they need to be kept moist, they prefer an acidic soil and partial shade. They will tolerate full sun but ONLY if their roots are kept moist at all times. They do grow well in containers, but again, attention must be kept in terms of keep them moist as they can easily dry out when kept in pots.
