Azalea mollis - Rhododendron
| The deciduous Azaleas - Azalea mollis - have been great in the South of UK this last few weeks - However, the heavy rain is now taking it's toll on these spectacular flowers. Advice on Pruning Azaleas |

As well as having a huge range of flower colours, Azalea mollis hybrids have a fantastic range of autumn - Fall - colours as the leaves prepare for winter. Like all members of the Azalea family, Azalea mollis are best grown in acid soils. They are quite tolerant of semi shaded positions, and some of the best specimens I have seen have been growing in woodland situations. Azalea mollis varieties can easily reach 8ft (2.4m height).
