Kurume Azalea - Species Care Guide
Detailed entry: The azalea is a member of the genus Rhododendron. It is an evergreen which in the wild grows as a small shrub (up to six feet). There are hundreds of azalea varieties. The azalea used to be considered a separate genus from the rhododendron, but has recently been reclassified. The Kurume azalea is a hybrid of R. obtusum and R. kiusianum, both native to the island of Kyushu, the southernmost island of Japan. They are often referred to as dwarf, although they may reach 4 to 6 feet in height and spread. Kurume Hybrids are hardier than the Southern Indian Hybrids.
