Azalea 'Red Poppy' care tips

Azalea 'Red Poppy' is easy to care for once established. Water during dry periods to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Remove spent flowers to keep the plant tidy and encourage new growth. Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds while keeping it clear of the stem. Feed with an acid loving fertiliser in spring to support strong growth and flowering.
