Angie,

Virtually all azaleas used in the landscape industry are hybrids. Seeds
from these plants will not produce identical copies of the original plant. As
several replies have suggested, you should look into layering as a way to
propagate your azalea.

I would class azaleas as moderately difficult to grow from seed. In my
experience it takes 4-6 years for evergreen azalea seedlings to reach blooming
size (in zone 6B) so, not only moderately difficult but a fairly long wait.

I have seen quite a few auctions on Ebay for Azalea seeds. What part of the
azalea produces seeds, and when do you harvest them? I have a bunch of
beautiful azaleas that I'd love to gather seeds from and plant all over our
property How long does it take them to grow from seed?
