They're a popular and beautiful landscape shrub, but there are a few things you may not have known about azaleas!Azaleas are one of the most popular choices for spring blooms in shady garden spots - and for a good reason. They stay green, have a long lifespan, and are usually pretty affordable too. There are more than a 1,000 species of rhododendron and more than 10,000 different varieties. Each offers a variation of different growth habits, bloom times, and colors.
Azaleas are also prone to fungal issues. Place in an area with good airflow, or apply a fungicide to prevent the spread of the damage. Fungal issues can turn the leaves black on azaleas.It’s hard not to pass by a neighborhood that has at least a few Azalea, but most of those azaleas that look kind of similar are actually native to Asia not to a United States. They come in shades of pink, red, and white and are usually evergreen.
Evergreen azaleas occasionally suffer from leaf fungal issues during humid or rainy weather, native azaleas are found in the wild in the southeast United States so they are very tolerant of humid weather.Azaleas are famous for their spring blooms, but some azalea and rhododendron bloom in the autumn and during the summertime.
