Interesting Facts
☘ Of all shrubs with flowers, the Azalea is by far the most dramatic with brilliant blooms of radiant colors blooming in late spring.
☘ The flowers and leaves of Azalea form in large clusters that offer nesting birds privacy while feeding and protect them from wind and rain. Its flowers provide abundant nectar that attract hummingbirds and the fire-tailed sunbird. Ornithologists have noted that birds don't discriminate over petal color when it comes to these plants, like they do with other plants. The seeds of Azalea plus the insects they attract provide food for birds during multiple seasons.
Health Benefits
☘ Bring this beautiful flowering shrub into your home to combat formaldehyde from sources such as plywood or foam insulation.
☘ Because Azaleas do best in cool areas, they're a good option for improving indoor air in your basement if you can find a bright spot.
