  • Azalea Encore 'Sunburst' - Beautiful soft-pink flowers.

Delivered as 3 x established plants in 8cm pots, ready to plant out.

Top Tips
When watering, try to use rainwater as tap water tends to be too hard and more alkaline.
Care Information
  • Azaleas can tolerate a more open site as long as they are sheltered from cold, drying winds and early morning sunlight.
  • Mulch plants and water deeply and regularly during dryer periods from July onwards.
  • Your azaleas should be planted slightly higher than they were in their pots into well-draining soil.
  • Azaleas need an acidic soil with a pH of around 5.5 in order to thrive - soils with pH higher than 5.5 should be acidified before planting or you can grow these plants in a container with ericaceous compost.
  • When watering, try to use rainwater as tap water tends to be too hard and more alkaline.
  • Plants benefit from a yearly feed, and our Azalea, Rhododendron and Shrub feed is the ideal formulation.
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them.
