DECIDUOUS
AZALEAS
All azaleas are in the Rhododendron genus. They differ by various
morphological traits that are wildly interesting to us as hybridizers,
but may or may not be of interest to you. (See our page of Resources
here, if you'd like more information.)
These are mostly natives or hybrids of natives and they lose their
leaves in the Winter. |
