Experience the explosion of color when thousands of azaleas at the National Arboretum light up the forest with their subtle shades and colors. In 2008, the peak azalea bloom should be between April 20-30. However, the first azaleas begin to bloom in early April with the daffodils and the forsythia, and still others are blooming as late as July with the daylilies. We hope that this Azalea Blossom Watch will give you insight into the range and diversity of Rhododendron species and cultivars growing at the National Arboretum, as well as help you with arranging your plans for a visit.
