The Bible for Azalea growers

If you are serious about growing azaleas you cannot live without this book. I have virtually slept with it every night and nearly have it memorized - which would help you too.

Not only are the color photos just fabulous, the text is in simple laymans terms and easy to read. Once you learn the basic varieties that everyone grows, then it's easy to pick out new and different ones for your yard.

There is a whole lot more to azaleas than just color: TIMING of the bloom season is everything - and Jim Darden gives you charts to keep your yard blooming for three whole months of the azalea season.

Forget the Plain Janes. Let's have some of the doubles and the bi-colors! Not to mention the yellows and oranges of the deciduous varieties.

Height? You'd better think about that right up front. Jim's charts give you a heads-up in that department too.

Just one other consideration: Cold Hardiness. He also lets you know which varieties are best for your area. No sense planting something that is going to freeze in its first year.

This book has opened a whole new world of gardening to me. The reason that they're only available on the secondary market now is because I bought nearly the whole book supply in the first year of publication and gave them to everyone I know. I just took one to an out-of-state garden club talk last week and told them they all need to have a copy.

If you're going to grow azaleas, then you need it too.
