Breeding has resulted there the widest range of flower color, but there is equal emphasis on growth characteristics. They are derived from crosses between A. indicum and A. eriocarpum. Satsukis were introduced to the west around 1900, but breeding didn't really take off here until the 1930s. |
| Lore | Though they are known as azaleas, all azalea hybrids are technically members of the genus Rhododendron. Originally bred, and still widely popular for bonsai use, Satsuki azaleas are twiggy with dense foliage, have a low, spreading, rounded and notably smaller leaves. |
