Product description

A popular and very decorative variety with brown leaves and carmine flowers. It grows as a dwarf shrub with a compact and cushion habit, reaching about 40 cm in height and 80 cm in width at the age of 10. Glossy, dark green leaves, turning brown in autumn. They don't fall over the winter. The flowers are intensely carmine red, slightly darker in the middle, quite large (about 4-5 cm in diameter). They don't fade in the sun. The variety blooms profusely in the second half of May. It looks impressive planted both individually and in a group, in the company of other heath plants - rhododendrons, azaleas, heathers. Due to its compact dimensions, it is ideal for small gardens. It is suitable for growing in pots (it can overwinter in pots, in unheated rooms).

Japanese azaleas prefer an acidic and permeable substrate (pH 3.5 - 4.5) - a mixture of acidic peat or composted soil, a bit of sand and bark will work well. The area around the bush should be mulched with bark. They are characterized by good frost resistance, although in open positions, exposed to strong gusts of wind, it is worth covering them for the winter (using agrotextile or branches of coniferous trees). Unlike some rhododendrons, they do well in full sun and their leaves do not burn. They can also grow in partial shade.
