Tis the season for azaleas -- come and get them!

When gardeners are polled about their favorite shrubs, rhododendrons and azaleas always come out on top, says shrub guru Michael Dirr.

We carry a variety of top-performing Girard azaleas, including the Missouri Botanical Garden's Plant of Merit Girard's Rose.  This year we're also carrying several varieties of Encore Azaleas, a repeat-blooming azalea that offers color throughout the season.

For a complete discussion on azalea planting instructions and care, read this comprehensive article from the Missouri Botanical Garden.
