Pollination Info
Pollination Info for Azalea 'Karens' (Rhododendron x Karen)
Azalea 'Karens' is a hybrid plant that belongs to the Rhododendron family. Proper pollination is essential for the production of seeds and ultimately the growth and reproduction of the plant.
Pollination Mechanism:
Azalea 'Karens' is primarily pollinated by insects, especially bees and butterflies. These pollinators are attracted to the bright and colorful flowers of the plant, where they collect nectar and inadvertently transfer pollen from one flower to another.
