    I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I've seen a few plants about that I am sure are Azaleas, possibly Dwarf Azaleas, the ones with hundreds of little flowers, so much you can't see the leaves or the branches.

    Firstly, what exactly are they called? And secondly, what colours can you get them in? All the ones I have seen are various shades of pink and I'm not really a pink person:lollol:

    Can anyone help?

    Many thanks

    It sounds as if you are after Japanese Azaleas, these tend to come in pink, red and orange.:thumb:

    Be very careful as Azaleas are extremely poisonous to petz
