Kurume Azaleas 
This group is more commonly known as dwarf 
azaleas. Flowers are small in comparison with Indicas 
but bloom in greater profusion, in a wide range of 
colors. Some produce a single flower, others, double 
which is described as a “hose in hose” type. 
The Kurumes are much hardier than the Indicas 
and when planted in sheltered or protected locations 
they will grow as far north as Long Island, New York. 
These are ideal plants for pots for florists’ use and 
also for outdoor plantings in borders, rock gardens 
and beds.
