While it is a plant native to the East, the azalea has been able to adapt and today it grows without problems in many parts of the world, such as the Spanish soil. Its scientific name is Rhododendron indicum and it is a plant that belongs to the family of Ericaceae.

It is distinguished from others by its small green leaves that, even without flowers, are pleasant in any season, bright and highly resistant.

They are large and generous and although the pink color is the most characteristic there are also azaleas with white, orange and red flowers.
