azaleas are among the most popular of the hybrid groups of azaleas and

are hardier than Southern Indians. They are often
called dwarfs but will grow into dense shapely plants, 5 feet or more in
height. The small flowers are borne in profusion in
early spring and range in color from white to pink, orange, red and
purple. Hardy from –5 degrees to – 10 degrees. |
