Azalea Bloom Times and Flowering GroupsFew shrubs can match the fantastic flower power that azaleas are loved for.
Reliable, vivid colors, masses of blooms, and easy-care maintenance make them a favorite among flowering shrubs.
While most folks tend to think of azaleas as spring flowering, there are many types that bloom in summer and fall as well.

Azalea GroupingsIn the large world of azaleas, plants are grouped according to a wide range of characteristics.
This includes deciduous or evergreen plants, native species or introduced hybrids, flower forms, and growth habits.
And native North American species can also be placed in color groups of white, pink, and orange-to-red.
Many cultivars are also grouped into series and are often named for the original plant breeder or the breeding location – such as PJM for the Boston breeder Peter John Mezitt, or Ghent for the hybrids from Ghent, Belgium.
The flowering groups give us the info we need for planning a continuous floral display.
