Azaleas and rhododendrons showcase a spectacular seasonal display when grown in acidic, well-drained soils. These shrubs may be evergreen or deciduous, with azaleas typically showing funnel-shaped flowers and rhododendrons bearing bell-shaped clusters. Azaleas usually have five stamens per bloom, while rhododendrons often have ten, accompanied by thicker, more leathery leaves. Hybridization has produced thousands of unique cultivars, expanding the range of colors and forms available.
