Product Series: Pre-order Japanese Gaozuku Azalea

Breeding of Satsuki has continued since the Edo period. Despite being an introductory species, Satsuki possesses a profound world. Every May, the Satsuki Festival is held in Ueno, Tokyo, where many magnificent bonsai can be seen. Satsuki azaleas possess a strong Japanese image, yet complement Western-style gardens beautifully.

Satsuki is an evergreen shrub of the Ericaceae family. It grows naturally in the Rocky Mountains along riverbanks west of the Kanto region and has been cultivated for ornamental purposes since ancient times. Satsuki is an abbreviation of "サツキツツジ."
