How to Grow Azaleas
31.07.2023 - 14:11 / gardenersworld.com
Azaleas are perennial flowering shrubs, bearing flowers from March to June (depending on the variety). There are thousands of cultivars to choose from, with flower colours ranging from pinks and purples to reds, oranges and yellows. Azaleas grow best in a shady bed or woodland border in the garden, but they also do well in pots. Some azaleas (sometimes known as greenhouse azaleas) are suitable for growing as house plants.
Azaleas are closely related to rhododendrons. Once categorised as different species, both azaleas and rhododendrons are now placed together in the Rhododendron genus. They share many characteristics but there are some differences:
Azaleas are always evergreen while rhododendrons are sometimes deciduous Azalea leaves are thin and often coated in fine hairs, while rhododendron leaves are usually thick and leathery Azalea flowers have five to six stamens, while rhododendron flowers typically have 10 or more stamens Azalea flowers appear in clusters of around three, at the end of a stem, while rhododendron flowers grow together in large ‘trusses’ Azaleas have more stems than rhododendrons How to grow azaleasOutside, grow azaleas in a sheltered spot in partial shade or full sun. Most varieties look best in a shaded or woodland border, or in pots.
Indoors, grow azaleas in a cool, well-ventilated spot, such as a conservatory, in bright light but not direct sunlight.
All azaleas require humus-rich, neutral to acidic soil that’s moist but well-drained. Use a test kit to measure the pH of your soil or look at neighbouring gardens to see if azaleas or other acid-loving plants are growing well in your area – avoid growing azaleas if you have an alkaline soil. Use peat-free ericaceous compost for azaleas in pots.
