What are different types of azaleas?

Azalea is a member of the Rhododendron family and the core of gardens around the world. There are more than 10,000 types of azaleas, but only a few of them are usually available in commercial kindergartens. Some of them are hybrids that fall into two basic categories: evergreen and deciduous. There are two sets of leaves on evergreen Azalas; One set falls in the spring and the other set falls in autumn. Flowers measure 2 inches (5 cm) size and flower in bold colors such as pink, red, orange, white, chartreuse and purple. There are no yellow flowers. Indica or Indian, Glen Dale and Kaemferi are three common varieties of evergreen azaleas. In the United States, these types of azaleas also called the Sometimes native azaleas. In spring they bloom and the leaves fall in autumn. Flowers come in bright pastel colors including pink, red, purple, yellow, white and orange. Some common names for deciduous azaleas are flame, alabama and Honeyckle.

azalea is either a species or a hybrid. Azaleas species are those that grow from other Azalea by pollination and seeds. Azaleas, which are types of azaleas, were not exposed to other types of azaleas, so there is no crossing. These azaleas prefer mild climate, high humidity and rich soil that drains well. They are not as hardy as a hybrid azaleas and can easily die when extreme changes occur in conditions.

Hybrid azalea is a hybrid between Azalea and other type of plant. Hybrids can only grow from cutting another hybrid. In the introduction of a hybrid variety, azaleasies were easier to care because conditions may not be ideal for prospering plants. Many hybrids are resistant to extreme temperatures, sun and dry, but may be prone to problems when grafted by another plant. The three largest groups of hybrids are Kurme, Belgian Indian and South Indian, with several varieties in each group.
