Shrubs/ Azalea

Common name: Azalea
Scientific name: Rhododendron kiusianum or obtusum japonicum
Pronunciation: row - doe - DEN - dron
Characteristics: Height: 2 ft. to 4 ft.
                           Width: 0 ft. to 4 ft.
                           Light requirement: Part Sun to Full Sun 
                           Leaf color: dark green 
                           Leaf type and persistence: small leaves, semi-evergreen
                           Landscape use: The mature landscape should be in scale with its surroundings. Plants give the garden form, so mass plantings will be more effective than mixed groupings as gardens age. A planting of 5 to 10 azaleas of the same variety will look much better than a mixed planting as the garden matures since the plants will have grown together to look like one large specimen plant.
