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.

All the species planted in the Azalea Walk leading into the garden belong to a group of deciduous azaleas from North America and Japan. Those in the two beds nearest the Azalea Garden have been used for breeding.
