Where Can Azaleas Be Found?

Azaleas naturally generate above Lush Caves biomes, typically on the surface as a clue to the underground cave system. They can also be obtained by using Bone Meal on Moss Blocks, which has a chance to generate Azaleas along with other vegetation. More details about underground vegetation can be found in the Lush Caves Guide.

What Can Players Do with an Azalea?

Azaleas can be used as decoration, placed directly on the ground or in Flower Pots. When planted on Dirt, Grass, or Moss and grown with Bone Meal, they develop into full Azalea Trees, which have a unique look with Azalea Leaves and Oak Logs. More details about tree farming and plant mechanics can be found in the Farming Guide.
