Royal Azalea (Rhododendron schlippenbachii) Seeds Fragrant Flowers – Brilliant Fall Color – Cold Hardy – Bonsai Friendly Add elegance and seasonal beauty to your garden with Royal Azalea, a striking, deciduous flowering shrub native to Korea, Manchuria, and Japan.

During peak bloom, wild populations transform forest undergrowth into breathtaking pink landscapes. Seed Sowing Instructions: Due to their extremely small size, care is needed when handling. Type: Tiny seeds; not pretreated Sowing Method: Surface sow (do not cover) Germination Temp: 55–64F (13–18C) Medium: Acidic potting mix or peat Light: Bright, indirect light Note: Keep moist but not soggy. Avoid letting the medium dry out. Important Notes: Seeds are not from a named cultivar unless specified. Germination success depends on multiple factors—careful handling, environmental conditions, and soil preparation are essential.
