Azaleas and rhododendrons used to be made up of two separate classifications--now they are both botanically classified as rhodies. Azaleas have only one blossom per stem, and rhododendrons have many blossoms per stem.
Azaleas love acidic soil, and do well in shade and under trees. I have a lovely pink azalea in my front yard, and it needs little care. It's in full bloom now, and will continue to bloom for a month or more.
The hybridization of azaleas have produced over 10,000 species worldwide.
