Azaleas (Rhododendron spp.)

Azaleas (Rhododendron spp.) are among the most beloved and spectacular flowering shrubs in the world, producing an absolutely breathtaking seasonal flush of flowers in vivid shades of red, pink, orange, white, purple, and bicolours that can completely obscure the foliage beneath. They thrive in cool, moist, highland conditions with acidic, well-draining soil — making Kenya's higher altitude regions particularly well-suited. Their glossy, dark-green evergreen foliage remains attractive year-round. An iconic choice for premium highland gardens, entrance plantings, and sheltered, shaded borders.
