Benikiri Azalea

Hello everyone,

SiKiTO's "Branch Delivery Service" delivers the best branches, professionally selected according to the weather and stock availability at the time.

The branch we are introducing this time is the Red Kiritsutsuji (Rhododendron kaempferi).

A deciduous shrub of the genus Rhododendron, in the family Ericaceae.

There's a theory that both characters in "Tsutsuji" (躑躅) have the "foot" radical because they are "beautiful enough to stop your feet."

While its leafy appearance conveys strength, the blooming flowers evoke a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere.

Red Kiritsutsuji with flowers is a bit rare to find as a cut branch.

Please enjoy watching the flowers gradually open.

Branches with flowers are delicate. To enjoy them for a long time, please recut the stems when changing the water.
