1 X Orange Azalea Japanese Evergreen Shrub Hardy Garden Plant in Pot

Product Information

Try adding a 3-inch layer of mulch and keeping it 1-2 inches away from the base of each of the plants. I’ve found that potted azaleas respond well to a twice-yearly feed with a slow-release fertiliser, ideally in pellet form. Top grafted tree: A height next to this form refers to the length of clear stem, which will not grow taller. Only the head of branches will develop. Ideal for small spaces.

Azaleas thrive in fertile acidic soil and they are easy to look after once they are established. Give them a generous mulch, between two and four inches deep, each spring to keep the soil moist and the roots cool. You could use pine needles, which help to keep the soil acidic, or top quality shredded bark or, best of all, home-produced leaf litter. Orange azaleas have shiny, orange-red leaves—and green ones too! They also come in a bunch of different sizes: from really tall to really short. One thing that makes them so special is how big their flowers can get: up to a foot across. Origins of Orange Azalea Someone should perform all pruning during the Springtime immediately after the shrub flowers begin to start their flowering. The Azalea begins to form the flowers for next year as soon it’s finished blooming for this year. It’s a very narrow window, and pruning seems to be ideal in this small time-space.

Watch out for hot patios, walls and pots where the soil could dry out and cause problems, this an issue I have seen first-hand. Azaleas are a type of flowering bushy plant in the Rhododendron genus. Azalea shrubs can transform your garden with a sea of color when the plants bloom in the springtime. Azalea flowers come in shades of orange, yellow, purple, red, pink, and white colors. Some spectacular types of azaleas have gorgeous flowers with large bi-colored petals and protruding stamens. Azaleas are making a perfect statement piece, a singular flash of glorious color and delightful structure that is at its best as one wonderful highlight in a sea of greenery.
