Rhododendron Indicum

Design with this plant

Overview

Azalea (Rhododendron indicum) is a stunning, evergreen shrub renowned for its vibrant spring blooms, which range from white to deep red. Thriving in well-drained, acidic soil, they typically reach 2-4 feet in height with a similar spread. Partial shade optimizes their flower production. Azaleas require regular watering and benefit from a mulch layer to maintain soil moisture. Perfect for accentuating woodland gardens or mass plantings for a spectacular color display.
