These are deciduous hybrids, they grow well in the cooler areas of Australia and are frost hardy, however they do not do well in warmer climates, for these areas choose evergreen hybrids.
They produce fantastic displays of flowers in mid spring before the leaves appear.
The large flowers are funnel shaped, unscented and are available in a selection of bright colours - Cream, Yellow, White, Red and Orange.
Gardens landscaped with deciduous azalea have another splash of colour during autumn as the leaves change colour from green to red, oranges, yellows and browns.
For those with cooler climates, these are very rewarding plants to have in your garden.
