Azaleas 
Landscape effect with Azaleas in foreground 
Azalea indica 
The Indica varieties in the North are used only for forcing, being too tender 
to grow outside, but they are the glory of the gardens in the Lower South. The 
Magnolia Gardens and the Middleton Gardens in South Carolina are famed for 
their Indian Azaleas. These beautiful Azaleas are hybrids of A. indica formosa, 
A. mucronata, A. obtusa, and many others. In the South, where conditions suit 
them, they are long-lived plants. They require the same growing conditions, 
sour soil, etc., as the other types we have mentioned.
