The colors are vibrant; they go with the season! Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, is in full bloom with azaleas framing this coastal town. So, if you have the opportunity, drive around and enjoy the azaleas!
Azaleas are known to be “the royalty of the garden”. All you have to do is drive around Rehoboth Beach and see the different neighborhoods in full glory. Maybe it has been the warm weather, the rain, and then a cooler snap that have made the colors pop even more.
If you plant azaleas in the spring, make sure to water, but also take notice that they are easily damaged by waterlogging.
They are pretty easy to grow, love acid soil with good drainage.
Love all the colors, from the whites, to the subtle pinks!!
Have a colorful day!!
