RE: Kurume Azalea - turning Japanese

in #azaleas6 years ago

Beautiful flowers, my friend and luminous cerise pink open flowers cover this compact evergreen shrub during spring and summer. Ideal container plant for patio settings and smaller gardens.

DESCRIPTION: Cerise coloured semi double blooms with gently ruffled edges. Small-medium rounded evergreen shrub.
USE IN: Beautiful in groups as a mass display of flowering colour. Suitable for pots.
LOCATION: Azaleas love dappled, morning and/or afternoon sun. A full sun location may be ok but not too exposed, hot and dry. Plant in a free draining soil rich in organic matter.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: approx 1m H x 1m W.
CARE: Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Continue to water on a regular basis for the first twelve months to ensure the plant becomes fully established. Prune after spring flowering to promote dense growth and flowering next season, fertilise using a slow release fertiliser such as Osmocote which is specially formulated for azaleas.
YOUR PLANTS: These plants are tube-stock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The average size of your plants will be 15 -25 cm including the pot height of 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
