Description
Azalea Manchurian (Rhododendron mucronulatum) is a striking deciduous variety known for its stunning clusters of fuchsia, trumpet-shaped flowers with purple overtones, which bloom in early spring before the leaves emerge. With its upright, spreading habit, this azalea stands out in your garden, especially in early spring when its vibrant blooms are on full display. In the fall, its narrow green leaves turn a brilliant yellow, adding an extra layer of interest.
The Azalea Manchurian is a hardy shrub that thrives in full sun to partial shade. It requires well-drained, highly acidic, and organic soil for optimal growth, so be sure to incorporate plenty of peat moss when planting. With its slow growth and multi-stemmed, upright form, it reaches a mature height and width of 5 feet. Ideal for planting under power lines, this shrub is low-maintenance and will live for decades with the right conditions.
