Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Southern Charm Azalea (Rhododendron x 'Southern Charm')
The Southern Charm Azalea is a hybrid rhododendron that blooms in the spring. It attracts pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with its showy flowers. Each flower has both male and female reproductive structures. The stigma is located in the center of the flower and is surrounded by the stamens. The stamens produce pollen which is transferred to the stigma by pollinators. Once the pollen lands on the stigma, it travels down the style and fertilizes the ovules, which eventually become seeds. The seeds are dispersed by wind or animals once they are mature.
For optimal pollination, it is recommended to plant Southern Charm Azaleas in groups or near other azalea varieties to increase cross-pollination. The more diverse the pollinator population around the azaleas, the more successful the pollination will be.
