HAMMOND, La. – Nurseries and garden centers sell more than 200 varieties of azaleas in Louisiana.
From large to small, from those that bloom only in spring to plants that bloom two to three times each year, everyone can find an azalea variety or two that appeal to them, said LSU AgCenter horticulturist Allen Owings.
The most common azaleas grown in Louisiana landscapes are Indian azaleas, which are sometimes referred to as the Southern Indica azalea, Owing said.
They come from Japan and have mature height of 6 feet with an equal spread, he said. But much larger plants of this type can be found all across the state.
