Evergreen azaleas

May 27, 2008 by Sherry

My evergreen azaleas are just past peak bloom. I have two of these large shrubs, and they are the last of the azaleas to bloom. These types of azaleas bloom much later than the more common, deciduous types. They can also withstand more sun and are thicker with many more branches. They have loads of large, semi-double blossoms. Mine are an intense pink. These shrubs are around 4 to 5 feet tall and approximately 6 feet wide.

Azaleas are out now around where I live, I have to say these are a joy to see and the colours are so vibrant.

  Hi Gretchen,
  
  I’m sorry but I don’t know the name of it. I’ve had those evergreen azaleas for many years and I just don’t remember the name. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
  
  Thanks for visiting,
