Azalea Mardi Gras

Azalea Mardi Gras Details

Azalea Mardi Gras is grown for its lovely form and profuse flowering. This hardy, evergreen shrub produces masses of single, dark pink-red flowers with a white edge from winter until late spring. It typically grows to 1.2 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 heavy frost while establishing. When fertilising, avoid using lime as this will stunt or even kill plants. Azalea Mardi Gras is a great choice for adding to a mixed planting, using in borders, planting around the base of larger trees, or planting anywhere a stunning plant is required.
