Azalea japonica 'Pink'

Azalea japonica is arguably the very best spring shrub for smaller gardens – offering a brilliant splash of colour that will waken up even dingy corners combined with the benefit of evergreen foliage that provides year-round allure.Azalea japonica ‘Pink’ offers a bold colour block of brilliant pink flowers from April to May, the whole bush being covered in a prolific flush of trumpet-shaped blooms that almost obscures the tight and bushy mound of small, dark green leaves. The foliage is retained all year, delivering structure and a perfect dark green backdrop to complement the colours of later perennial flowers and seasonal bedding.This compact, low maintenance shrub is perfect for small space gardening, injecting energising colour into urban spaces such as balconies, terraces and courtyards where plants need to be grown in containers. It is equally suitable for planting into a narrow shady border or as a specimen shrub at the edge of a much larger mixed border. Grow Azalea japonica ‘Pink’ in acid soil or pots of ericaceous compost where this hardy shrub will reliably reward year after year for very little maintenance.
