Every year they seem to get better and better. Azaleas are in, and fully budded ready to bloom for many weeks until Spring arrives.
Florist quality azaleas like Smith’s sells are ideal for use in the home or on the patio, anywhere you’d enjoy a splash of color. Whether placed in a sunny window, gracing an elegant table, or as an outdoor accent, these wonderful plants are the essence of the term “living décor.” Beautiful and long-lasting, florist azaleas are not hardy outdoors at temperatures below 30°F, but will bloom for up to six weeks indoors, or in warmer outdoor weather, offering enduring color and enjoyment.
Braided azalea trees make any occasion a special event. With the same outstanding keeping quality and bloom time as regular Keepsake® azaleas, these unique and striking plants offer an almost “topiary” accent, indoors or out. Place them in pairs to accessorize a table, entry way or porch. Use them to grace the ends of pews at a wedding. These gorgeous plants invariably turn heads, no matter where they’re used, and will keep on blooming when other plants have faded.
Care Tips for Maximum Enjoyment:
- Keep soil moist; water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch, drain off excess water.
- Azaleas prefer bright diffused sunlight, but not direct sunshine.
- Place in cool location, avoiding excessive hot and cold areas as well as drafts.
- Protect furniture with a saucer or dish.
We have several colors of azaleas in stock and get new shipments twice a week. There is a limited supply on the topiary’s this season, but right now there in and looking awesome!
Stop by Smiths soon, brighten a spot or a whole home with our healthy, Blossom Spring treated plants.

Hi,
I had a question in regards to the braided azalea tree. Is it an indoor plant? Or can it be placed in a pot outside, and also even planted in the ground. Also, how big/tall will it grow (over how many years)?
Thanks,
Norm
Hi Norm, thanks for visiting.
Yes, the Braided Azalea’s we carry are indoor varieties, generally they can not withstand temperatures below 30 degree’s so they will not winter over in Midland Michigan. You could place them out side for the summer but they must be brought back into the house in the fall.
Generally they are slow growers, being part of the Rhododendron family, they require bright (full) sun, and a good amount of water. Indoors even, they often need to be watered daily. As to size, they will not get a lot taller, as they need to be trimmed to maintain their shape. However, if you let them go and grow they will gain size but also lose their shape somewhat.
We do currently have them in stock for Easter, but they are in limited supply. Thanks for asking, have a blessed day.
I have a question?
the Azalea I bought had some white flowers on it and ive watered it how its been said but all the flowers started to get all brown in the edges and I dont understand why. even the little buds taht are coming out have the brown edges on it.
Is that ok for that to happen?
Karen, no that’s not “normal”. Did you get the Azalea from us? If so we’d love to see it in person and see whats going on.
How long have you had the plant?
Generally when this happens it’s because the plant was either stored too long in a cooler, or was shipped in a box and was not watered and in the light for too long, resulting in the plant aborting the buds.
Let us know and we’ll try to help you with your plant.
