AZALEAS 
in Central Florida 
The Indica type of Azalea has been 
very popular in Central Florida for 
many years; in fact, it is among the 
best loved of all evergreen flowering 
shrubs. In this section of the state the 
Kurume varieties are hard to grow, 
for they do not like our long hot sum- 
mers. We therefore hesitate to rec- 
ommend them south of the vicinity 
of Brooksville or Deland. To the 
north they are fine, especially in 
North and West Florida. If Native 
Azaleas are given good attention, 
they make themselves more at home 
in our area than do the Kurumes. 
Native Azaleas

from light yellow through orange to 
orange-red. Blooms in March and 
April.
