Azaleas are among the most popular flowering shrubs in the United States, particularly in the South. They belong to the genus Rhododendron and consist of several varieties (cultivars). These varieties can be categorized as either evergreen or deciduous, as well as spring-blooming or reblooming. Most homeowners prefer evergreen azaleas.


Different azalea varieties thrive in specific regions of the country, and some are better suited to certain areas than others. At Adams Nursery, we offer azalea varieties that are well adapted to the temperatures and soil types of Northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri.
