Azalea Gerhardt Nicolai

Azalea Gerhardt Nicolai Details

Azalea Gerhardt Nicolai is grown for its lovely form and profuse flowering. This hardy, evergreen shrub produces masses of semi-double, pink flowers in autumn and spring. These are held against the dark green foliage which serves as a lovely backdrop to the flowers. The leaves tend to take on bronze tones during winter which adds additional interest to this plant. It typically grows to 1 m tall and the same wide, growing best when planted in a semi-shade or full sun position on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost and cool climates but does require good soil moisture levels during dry periods and should be protected from harsh frost while establishing. When fertilising, avoid using lime as this will stunt or even kill plants. Azalea Gerhardt Nicolai is a great choice for container growing, adding to a mixed planting, using in borders, planting around the base of larger trees, or planting anywhere a stunning plant is required.
