Rhododendrons and azaleas are closely related. Rhododendrons have 10 or more stamens per lobe. Azaleas have only five. Most rhododendron are evergreen and azaleas are deciduous.
A synonym for azalea is rhododendron. However, the reverse is not true. All azaleas are rhododendrons, but not all rhododendrons are azaleas.
Rhododendrons might have the synonym "heaths" (the general family) or specifically "azaleas" (two subgenera of rhododendrons).
Rhododendrons, azaleas, and camellias are all ericaceous.
Most rhododendrons and azaleas are killed by juglone, the toxic agent in black walnut. I know that a couple rhododendrons and azaleas are not killed. They include: Rhododendron periclymenoides Azalea 'Gibraltar' Azalea 'Balzac' Fortunately walnut leaves aren't nearly as big a problem as the roots and hulls. Conversely, some rhododendrons will kill plants planted near them. That is one thing that is so insidious about R. ponticum in England. The ponticum runs rampant and kills some of the native plants.

"Ericacea" refers to a family of flowering plants that includes species like heathers and rhododendrons. These plants typically have bell-shaped flowers and are known for their ability to thrive in acidic soils.
A balanced, time-release fertilizer for acid-loving woody plants describes the type of fertilizer to be used for laurel hedges. The woody plants in question (Lauraceae family) respond to the same fertilizers that grow azaleas and rhododendrons. A 10-10-10 NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) fertilizer formulated for acid-lovers, azaleas, laurels and rhododendrons or the combination of loamy compost and organic mulch serve as examples.

Save your Miracid for acid loving plants like azaleas, rhododendrons, blueberries, strawberries and heathers. They need a PH of 5.5. Chrysanthemums only need PH 6.5.
