Azaleas really do add a blast of seasonal colour to the border in May and June.
Evergreen Azaleas provide foliage all year round and a splash of bright brash colour in May and June. As with all Azalea they benefit from ericaceous soil and a feed once a season with a specialised ericaceous slow release fertiliser. As Azalea flowering May and June they are also very popular with bees.
Evergreen Azaleas are quite happy in containers as well as in a slightly shaded to sunny position. The glossy evergreen foliage adds interest all year round. But let us not forget the knockout scent of deciduous Azalea.
Deciduous Azaleas are vibrant, exotic to look at and just delicious. Blousy and fun they fill the border with exotic coloured blooms and are a huge plus for bees who flock to them in their droves. The autumn foliage colour is not be ignored either – simply stunning reds and orange foliage adorn the bush before falling.
