Azaleas - Rhododendrons

Azaleas and Rhododendrons are shrubs for all seasons. In spring, their spectacular and showy flowers produce such an incredible display that they are among the most popular garden shrubs. Throughout summer and fall, their handsome foliage adds a pleasing, deep green color to the garden. Some deciduous azaleas add bright fall color before their leaves drop. All evergreen rhododendrons and azaleas stand out in winter some with their large leathery leaves.
