Sending Azalea Plants with ProFlowers

If you’re looking to buy Azaleas online, and wonder about quality, you’re in great hands (& the perfect site!) with the lauded professionals at ProFlowers.com!

Known today in many a gardening club (and in the majority of climates, too!) as the “Royalty of the Garden,” the breath-taking Azalea has made it’s mark quite clear - it’s the centerpiece or focal point of numerous gardens across the country, as well as a house favorite of countless florists (although you won’t hear them admit it out loud)! These delightful and easy-to-care-for flowering house plants are found country-wide in many outdoor and indoor garden designs.

Beautiful Azalea plants show themselves proudly each spring, mostly from mid-April to mid-May (in the mid-Atlantic area of our country). A handful of varieties bloom a month or so earlier and still a few others bloom as late as… August or September!

Blooms usually last for up to two weeks, and in warm climates like the Deep South, some potted Azaleas even will then bloom again later in the fall!

Popular with outdoor gardeners and landscape architects alike, the “re-blooming trait” is being bred into other Azalea species more commonly in the 21st century, mostly for autumn blooming purposes in colder areas too! This means, you can send a blooming Azalea plant to a loved one anywhere in the U.S. and rest assured your lovely gift will provide long-term love!

There are many different flower types when it comes to Azaleas for sale & ProFlowers.com has the best variety, including some of the most popularly sold.

Many flower and plant lovers wonder if they can take a floral gift and use it in their personal garden. The answer is a resounding, “Yes!” If you receive, for example, an Azalea Bonsai, as a gift, you can definitely “strut its stuff” by featuring it in your home garden! While your potted beauty is in your home, remove any wrapping and water deeply, yet infrequently, with the end goal of creating moist soil. (A good way to achieve this is to soak it in water until the bubbles stop, then let it drain out the excess water.) Keep it in a cool area of the house to lengthen the bloom period.

If the Azalea is not cold-hardy, you can still plant it outside after the last frost, just keep it in its pot (to plant, keep the rim of the pot even with the soil level, or use it as a potted plant). Remember to water it still, as the roots can only get the water while in the pot. Bring it back into the house during the winter as a potted plant, and put it in the coolest part of the house during the winter!
