Types of Azaleas:

1. Deciduous azaleas: These azaleas lose their leaves in the autumn and are known for their showy, fragrant flowers that bloom in early spring. Deciduous azaleas come in a variety of colours, including pink, white, orange, red, and yellow.

2. Evergreen azaleas: These azaleas keep their leaves year-round and are known for their smaller, more delicate flowers that bloom in late spring or early summer. Evergreen azaleas come in a wider range of colours, including lavender, purple, and bicolours. They are also more cold-hardy than deciduous azaleas.
