The Satsuki Azalea is a popular choice among Bonsai. This particular plant is very hardy and produces magnificent flowers ranging up to seven inches in diameter. Of all shrubs with flowers, the Azalea is by far the most dramatic with brilliant blooms of radiant colors blooming in late spring. While there are many species of Azalea, the Satsuki, or Rhododendron indicum is easily one of the most popular, featuring an excellent low, twiggy habit with lovely funnel shaped unscented flowers in whites, pinks, reds and purples. The Satsuki is identified by two blossoms on the end of the terminal; they also have slightly hairy leaves budding out freely from even fairly old wood. Because the azalea is highly coveted in Japan, there have been hundreds of different varieties, in every color except yellow, bright orange, and true blue. Each live plant is shipped with the Phytosanitary Certificate as required by the USDA.

Good first impression. (Updated) Just arrived. So far I am impressed. This purchase was accidental, but with shipping being 40% of how much this cost me I didn’t see it worth sending back.It arrived in great condition. I did think I was getting a five year old tree like the description states, but this one is only three.Has great bids that look like they will bloom soon.Soil came moist and intact. Foliage looks great. Came in a cream planter instead of the blue. ð But it is still cute.Update:…
Arrived in poor condition and eventually died
Required a little work, but now it’s great! This is an adorable little bonsai. After reading the other reviews, I saw that a lot of people complained that theirs had died very quickly. So when I received the azalea, I repotted it within a couple of days. It was very, very root bound, and had thick wires holding the plant in the pot. The soil was so hard that, even though i soaked it in water, the base of the plant was still dry. It took quite awhile to remove from the pot, but I now have it in a new azalea pot, and it is flourishing…
