evergreen azaleas of different types? The scented ones are really gorgeous.


Yes, azaleas are not nearly as thick-trunked, are they, so the roots may
not be as much of a problem, if, in fact, rhododendron roots are. I'll
research azaleas too.

The variety R. luteum is lovely for scent, though it's deciduous but mixed
in with others, I think it would be very rewarding. These people seem to
have a large range of all sorts of Rhododendrons and azaleas.
