Azalea Garden
Hybrids
Anyone looking for hardy azaleas to grow for their blaze of late spring colour will be spoilt for choice at Kew. Twelve different groups of azalea hybrids have appeared since the very first Ghent hybrids in the 1820s.
The garden's two concentric circles of beds arrange the plants in date order, leading up to today's varieties from eastern America and Holland.
