The Satsuki Azalea are probably one of the most popular flowering bonsai grown today. The Satsuki flowers from the end of May to early July and when not in bloom, it makes a lovely outdoor evergreen tree. The flowers are showy and are often multi coloured on the same plant. A Satsuki azalea in full bloom is a wonderful sight.
They are hardy in mild climates and can tolerate as low as -7°C for short periods, and an open structure is often adequate protection. If there is a prolonged period of cold you can protect in an unheated greenhouse. Can be kept in full sun or partial shade.
Water regularly and generously throughout the year, but especially when the plants are in bloom. The petals are easily damaged, so take care not to splash them with water. Keep moist during the winter.

Due to their nature trees grow and whilst in our care may need pruning, this means the tree that you receive may differ slightly in size to that given in the description.
