While the heart of this book is its treatment of all the species of azaleas & more than 6,000 cultivars, it also offers information on every aspect of growing & using azaleas in the garden, including landscaping, companion plants, culture, pests & diseases, hybridizing, & bonsai. The scope is truly international, covering the work of Japanese, Dutch, & Belgian breeders as well as those throughout the English-speaking countries. It is the definitive book on the subject.
