Azaleas

Question

I have just been given an Azalea and would like to know if this can be planted in the garden in the spring, or is it just an indoor plant? Are there different types hardy and non hardy?

Answer 1

It can be difficult sometimes to tell the type of Azalea that was sold.
Given the time of year, it is likely that your Azalea was grown and sold as an indoor specimen.
