## Overview

The Azalea Japonica 'Japanese Red' is a compact, evergreen shrub that produces vibrant scarlet blooms in spring. This low-maintenance plant thrives in acidic soil and is perfect for patio containers or shaded areas, providing year-round interest and beauty to your garden.

## Description

Azalea 'Japanese Red' is a slow growing, compact shrub producing masses of striking scarlet blooms through March and April each year. This low maintenance shrub is ideal for acidic soil or for growing in patio containers and will even tolerate shady areas of the garden. The fabulous flowers almost smother the evergreen foliage when in full bloom and plants continue to add structure and interest to the garden once the blooms have faded.Grow Azaleas in moist, well drained, acid soil that has been enriched with plenty of well-rotted organic matter. Choose a position in semi or dappled shade with shelter from cold drying winds. Many azaleas can cope with a sunny position provided that the soil remains reliably moist. Where soil conditions are alkaline, Azalea plants are best grown in patio containers, using a mix of ericaceous compost and a soil-based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Azaleas are surface rooting so it is important to avoid planting them too deeply.Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you put this in the centre of the garden**
A: When mature it would go in a central position but bear in mind that this is a very small shrub on a spindly central stem.  It flowered prettily but for a very brief period. About 3ft high and not that much foliage on top.

**Q: What size is this plant when delivered?**
A: when planted it measures 88.5cm or 34.75inches

**Q: How should you look after this plant?**
A: Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our product.

Azalea like a sheltered site with light dappled shade but will tolerate full sun if kept moist. Avoid early morning sun. They need acid soil, rich in organic matter, so use ericaceous compost when potting into containers (they'll perform best when kept in a container if the soil is alkaline or neutral in your garden).  Do not plant them too deeply as they are surface rooting and the roots should be just covered.  Mulch with 8cm chipped conifer bark (or other acidic material) and renew or replenish mulch each spring when the soil is moist. Repot every other year. They grow best in areas of high rainfall - use rainwater if possible, as tap water may have too much calcium in it. Apply a general fertiliser in early spring, such as poultry manure pellets, and feed in summer with a liquid feed. They don't require much pruning apart from to remove any dead wood and deadheading of spent flowers.

**Q: Hi What size container would be suitable for this plant. Thank you,Paul.**
A: Hi...mine is planted in the centre of a 6 foot by 6 foot raised bed so I'm probably not the best one to say. Probably a 2 foot across pot would be big enough......the plant itself isn't huge when it arrives

The two, either side of the front door, look very healthy with glossy leaves, and budding already. I am very pleased, and hope the spring floral display matches the photo!

The advert was misleading as the photo showed it in a pot and the ad says it comes in a pot yes a plastic one not like in the photo
