The Azalea Shrubs Are Easy Plants To Grow In Shade

Executive Summary about Gumpo Azalea by Patrick Malcolm

Azaleas can be divided into two recognizable groups, the evergreen azalea and the deciduous azalea, which drops all of its leaves in the fall during cold weather. 

Deciduous azaleas are native plants (16 species) to America and many other azalea species have originated in oriental foreign countries such as Japan and China. 

Evergreen azalea plants also drop their leaves, appearing to be evergreen, but they actually grow two sets of leaves simultaneously, dropping a few leaves in the fall. The azalea shrub is a shallow rooted plant, and it is one of those rare shrubs that can flourish when planted beneath the shade of pine trees. 

Azalea shrubs rarely need any supplemental fertilizing. The shallow fibrous roots of the azalea shrub can be severely burned by fertilizer if overdone. Over fertilizing could result in root rot and lead to the eventual death of the plant. 

The 'Gumpo' azalea from the Satsuki hybrid group is recommended for planting beneath a window and occasionally is recommended for taller windowsills, "Hershey Red" and Coral Bells from the Karume hybrid group are often used azalea shrubs, since they only grow to approximately four feet tall and four feet wide.

Azalea shrub selection and planting is best done in the spring while the plants are in flower, but fall planting will be satisfactory in most cases. The azalea plant is not easily transplanted from one garden spot to another, and gardeners are advised to plant containerized azaleas for fast growing and to achieve the best survival results. 

Azalea shrubs are easy to grow in most locations, and after planting these shrubs in the garden leave them alone for best results.
