“Shiraz” is a variety of Azalea grown for its colourful foliage and flowers. This hardy, evergreen shrub produces burgundy-coloured leaves. Clusters of single, dark red flowers are borne from late winter through spring. It typically grows to 70 cm 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. “Shiraz” is a great choice for growing in a container, adding to a mixed planting, using in borders, planting around the base of larger trees, using in cottage gardens, or planting anywhere a stunning plant is required. Cluster planting is very trendy and affords a colourful display.
