An azalea is a solid block that can be grown into an azalea tree.
Obtaining
Breaking
Azaleas can be broken instantly using any tool or by hand. Harvesting an azalea with shears consumes the durability of the shears for no additional benefit.
An azalea also breaks if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if water flows into it.
| Block |

|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 0 | |
| Breaking time (secs) | ||
| Default | 0.05 | |
- incorrect tool, drops nothing
- correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself

- italicized can be instant mined
Natural generation
Azaleas generate commonly on top of moss blocks in lush caves.
Post-generation
When decayed or mined with any tool except shears and tools enchanted with Silk Touch, azalea leaves have a 5% chance to drop azaleas. The Fortune enchantment increases the rate to 6.25% at level I, 8.33% at level II and 10% at level III.
When using bone meal on a moss block, each block in a 3×3 to 7×7 area has a 15% chance of growing an azalea.
Usage
Azaleas can be placed on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, podzol, moss blocks, farmland, mud, muddy mangrove roots and clay.
Unlike most transparent blocks, mobs can spawn on top of azaleas in Java Edition[1].
Composting
Putting an azalea in a composter has a 65% chance of increasing the composting level.
Fuel
Azaleas can be used as a fuel source in furnaces, smelting 0.5 items per azalea.
Growing trees
Unlike saplings, an azalea does not automatically grow into an azalea tree. Therefore, using bone meal on it is the only way to grow an azalea tree. Application of bone meal gives an azalea a 45% chance to grow into an azalea tree, provided there is a 3×5×3 area above it that is clear of all blocks, except for leaves and logs.
