Azalea Songbird

Songbird is an Azalea grown for its lovely form and profuse flowering. This hardy, evergreen shrub produces masses of red blooms from winter through spring. 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. When grown in full sun it tends to be more compact. Plants are frost tolerant but require moisture in dry periods. Avoid lime fertiliser. Great for container growing, mixed plantings, and cluster displays.
