{"id":47479,"count":1,"description":"Azaleas (\u00a0\/\u0259\u02c8ze\u026ali\u0259\/) are flowering shrubs comprising two of the eight subgenera of the genus Rhododendron, Pentanthera (deciduous) and Tsutsuji (evergreen). Azaleas bloom in spring, their flowers often lasting several weeks. Shade tolerant, they prefer living near or under trees.\nAzaleas differ from rhododendrons in being generally smaller and having one blossom per stem rather than blossom clusters.\nPlant enthusiasts have selectively bred azaleas for hundreds of years. This human selection has produced over 10,000 different cultivars which are propagated by cuttings. Azalea seeds can also be collected and germinated.\nAzaleas are generally slow-growing and do best in well-drained acidic soil (4.5 - 6.0 pH). Fertilizer needs are low; some species need regular pruning.\nAzaleas are native to several continents including Asia, Europe and North America. They are planted abundantly as ornamentals in the southeastern US.\nMain article: List of azalea diseases\nAzalea leafy gall can be...","link":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/tag\/azalea\/","name":"Azalea","slug":"azalea","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/47479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=47479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
