Azaleas are flowering plants in the genus Rhododendron and add color and bloom to the art of bonsai. While conventional azaleas are typically shaped into hedges or compact shrubbery, azalea bonsai is most often shaped to resemble flowering trees.

The Rhododendron genus contains about 1000 species, of which especially the Satsuki Azalea (Rhododendron indicum) and Kurume azalea (Rhododendron kiusianum and Rhododendron kaempferi are commonly used in bonsai.

• SATSUKI AZALEAS
  Satsuki azaleas display a wide variety of flower colors and sizes. Less hardy than most Azaleas, Satsuki has an excellent low, twiggy habit and bear funnel-shaped, unscented flowers in whites, pinks, reds, and purples in Summer (not Spring as is typical with many Rhododendron species).
• KURUME AZALEAS
  Kurume hybrids are hardier than Satsuki’s and produce numerous, very small, funnel-shaped flowers in a wide range of colors in Spring.

The perfect bonsai tree for someone looking to add color to their collection.
