Satsuki Bonsai Azaleas of Old Japan
Colorful cultivars of late-blooming Satsuki azaleas have been hybridized in Japan for hundreds of years. Many of our azalea bonsai were started from cuttings collected in Japan in the last century. This annual exhibit showcases our most spectacular examples in a one-week indoor display. Based on individual bloom times, trees may be on display in the outdoor pavilions before and after the indoor exhibit.
