Azalea is a compact, dense, floriferous, deciduous or evergreen shrub with ovate, green leaves and masses of attractive, star-shaped or funnel-shaped, white, red, pink, or purple flowers blooming in spring or summer. Attractive to birds and butterflies. Azaleas are generally slow-growing plants that prefer fertile, humus-rich, acidic soils. It has shallow roots and thrives in moist, well-drained soils, since excessive moist can lead to root rot. It is best grown in partial shade. It can withstand full sun but too much sun can cause leaf scorch. It tolerates cold weather and frost, but needs to be sheltered from harsh, winter winds. Mostly, pest-free and disease-free. Low maintenance plant that usually doesn’t require pruning. Azalea is a beautiful, floriferous shrub, very easy to care for. Because of its shallow roots, it is very suitable for growing in pots and containers. Perfect for banks and slopes, shrub borders and mixed borders, informal hedges and screens, and foundational plantings. It is excellent for informal, cottage, and wildlife gardens.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
