Thanks Greg. It needs shade and flourishes in a moist, neutral to acid soil and that's all. For years it's done well without any extra attention from us.
Debbie - yes they are, and still more flowers to come. Thanks.
It's a nice plant, Gibson. Unfortunately our soil is slightly alkaline, which is a bit of a nuisance as I love A(but can't grow) Azaleas. I just manage to keep a Rhododendron and a Magnolia alive by digging in rotting fruit around the base of them.
Byeways - like you we love Azaleas but the one (shortly to be posted on the blog) didn't flower at all well this year, the first time this has ever happened.
Beautiful, is it difficult to grow?
