Fragrant Rhododendrons and Azalea

The rhododendrons and azaleas are fragrant for some people. Among the flagship varieties, the Rhododendrons 'Loderi King George' and 'Fragrantissimum', the Chinese Azalea 'Daviesii' are distinguished by their intense fragrance. These bushes of the Ericaceae family, with evergreen or deciduous foliage, produce flowers grouped in bouquets in a range of colours from pure white to bright red, including shades of pink, yellow, and orange. The 'Fragrantissimum' Rhododendron, with its white and fragrant flowers, creates a remarkable visual and olfactory spectacle. It is closely followed by the 'Daviesii' Azalea, famous for its white flowers enhanced by beautiful golden yellow macules and its sweet fragrance. Let us also mention the 'Yellow Pontic' Azalea (Rhododendron luteum), a superb Caucasian botanical species, notable for its highly fragrant yellow flowering in late spring and its sumptuous autumn colours. Let's also mention the 'Rosy Lights' Azalea, with its bright pink flowers, which seduces with its delicate fragrance and abundant flowering. And many others.

These bushes are cultivated in acidic, well-drained, and humus-rich soil. They thrive in partial shade, protected from strong winds. Like many plants in the Ericacea family, they do not tolerate limestone or alkaline soils, summer drought, or heavy, continuously wet soils saturated with water in winter.
