Question: Are azaleas considered monocots or dicots?
Quick Answer: Scientists consider azaleas to be dicots.
Why Are Azaleas Considered Dicots?
When azalea seeds open, they release a tiny stem with two seed leaves attached. The difference between a monocot and a dicot is that monocots only have one embryonic leaf, and dicots have more than one. This means azaleas are dicots.
