Azalea Amoena - 40/60cm, 25lt

Azalea Amoena is a compact, wide-spreading, dwarf, evergreen shrub, a rare old variety of Japanese Azaela. It has beautiful, funnel-shaped, hose-in-hose, bright magenta-pink flowers that bloom in May and totally cover the plant when in full bloom. Leaves are small, ovate, deep-green, and remain on the shrub all through the winter. It grows best in moderately fertile, acidic soil, constantly moist and well-drained. It is often planted in deep shade, and partial shade, but it will grow in full sun as well, if planted in a sheltered spot. Its roots are very close to the surface, therefore, it doesn’t tolerate cultivation around itself, but a light mulch would be a good idea. Azalea Amoena is perfect for small gardens, great for hedges and screens, mixed borders and shrub borders, and for growing in pots and containers. It’s important to know that all types and all parts of azalea bushes are considered poisonous.
