Azaleas
Azaleas prefer a slightly acidic soil and dappled sunlight. They are either deciduous or evergreen with bloom times varying from early spring to early summer. The deciduous Azalea’s flower is produced before the foliage. There are many different sizes and colours of Azaleas. A beautiful plant to include in a woodland garden.
