Encore Azalea ‘Autumn Amethyst’
Rhododendron ‘Conlee’
LANDSCAPE USE
Lovely as foundational shrubs with short grasses like Melinis or Liriope at their feet, also great as a small informal hedge to divide gardens ‘rooms’ or enforce property edges. With Two long lasting blooming flushes yearly, these are hard to beat for floral power!
PRUNING
Very little necessary, for size and shape control any pruning should be done immediately after the spring bloom flush to avoid removal of the next years’ budding sites.
KING’S TIPS
Since these have a rich purple tone to the leaves in winter and vibrant deep fuchsia blooms in the growing season, the contrast against pale homes is excellent all year long.
