Azaleas, Rhododendron Simsii

Rhododendron Simsii, commonly known as Azaleas are those beautiful, multicolored joys of spring, those bright spots in the grocery store or garden nursery when everything else is winter gray. Azaleas as houseplants do best at cooler temperatures.

Regularly offered as a gift plant, especially during the winter season, the florist’s azalea (Rhododendron simsii) also makes an excellent indoor plant that can bloom abundantly from year to year, each session lasting weeks, if not months.
