- A Very Special Gift For Mother's Day! |

| The
Azalea, a beautiful flowering plant, is part of the
Rhodendron family. When purchased in a six or eight
inch pot, decorated with a lovely basket and bow, it
makes a very special gift for Birthdays, Valentine’s
Day, Mother’s Day; it also makes a perfect centerpiece
for weddings.
When kept indoors, azaleas enjoy bright light, well-drained
acidic soil. (You can use your leftover tea rather
than fertilizer). It is better to allow the plant
to dry out somewhat & even droop a little than
to over-water; over-watering will cause severe leaf
drop. Azaleas have what are called terminal blooms,
one flower per stem. These flowers all bloom at one
time creating a spectacular show of color. Once the
flowers finish blooming the plant needs to be pruned.
Azaleas may be planted outside, partly in the shade,
in well- drained slightly acidic soil. However, they
do not well where the temperature dips below 0 degrees
F nor do they tolerate high heat for long periods
(i.e. Southwest U.S.).
Whether
you keep them inside or plant them outside, azaleas
are beautiful plants that require little care and
provide years of enjoyment
