rhododendron

Azalea, Rhododendron

There are around 800 evergreen, semi-deciduous and deciduous shrubs and trees in this genus. They are grown mainly for their mass display of flowers, which will vary greatly in size from tiny blooms to large trumpets. They usually have clusters of blooms from the branch tips, and appear in every colour except bright blue. They are mainly broad leaved with roughly elliptical, usually deep green leaves. They are fully hardy to frost tender, min 4-7C and will prefer dappled shade, but a considerable number will tolerate full sun, especially in cool climates. Grow them in neutral to acidic soil which is humus-rich and well drained.

2002-05-09: Found that one of me azaleas died, and another, next two it have misformed leaves and flowers. This advise was on the web: Flowers thickened or fleshy galls on flowers and leaves are caused by Exobasidium leaf and flower gall. The galls become hard and turn white and eventually brown. Fungicides seldom provide control. Sanitation and warm dry conditions reduce infestation. It is seldom considered serious.
