When does azalea bloom? Pictures of azalea

1. Basic Introduction

Rhododendron, also known as azalea and mountain pomegranate, is a plant of the genus Rhododendron in the family Ericaceae. According to legend, there was a cuckoo in ancient times that cried day and night and coughed up blood. Its blood dyed the flowers all over the mountain red, hence the name azalea. It is divided into five major varieties: spring azalea, summer azalea, western azalea, eastern azalea and alpine azalea.

2. When to open

Most azaleas bloom between April and June. However, the specific flowering time depends on factors such as its variety and planting area. For example, the flowering period of spring azalea is from mid-April to early May, and the flowering period of summer azalea is from mid-May to early June, and can last until July-August. From a regional perspective, flowers grown in greenhouses in the north will bloom in January and February; flowers grown in the open field will also bloom in March to May; and flowers in places with higher altitudes will bloom in July and August.

3. Growth habits

Rhododendron prefers a cool, humid, ventilated and semi-shady growing environment. It is afraid of both extreme heat and severe cold. The suitable temperature for its growth is between 12℃-25℃. It needs sun protection and shade in summer, and attention should be paid to keeping warm in winter. It is suitable to grow under scattered light with low light intensity. If the light is too strong, it will easily burn the tender leaves, and in severe cases it will cause the death of the plant. It is suitable for planting in acidic soil. If planted in calcareous soil, its growth will become slow or even stop.
