Indica Azaleas
Known as the "Cadillac" of blooming plants, Indica Azalea have a long history. Originally native to China and Japan, these plants made their way to Europe and Belgium in the 1850's. Here they were hybridized resulting in hundreds of new varieties with spectacular blooms. Flowers should easily last 3-4 weeks with removal of spent blooms. Never let them dry out, keep medium moisture.
