Azalea japonica Blue Danube 7.5 Litre Pot

The Azalea japonica 'Blue Danube' (7.5 Litre Pot) is an eye-catching evergreen shrub, admired for its stunning lavender-blue blooms that appear in late spring. With a compact growth habit, reaching approximately 60-90 cm in height and spread, this azalea is ideal for garden borders, shaded areas, or container planting. Its glossy, dark green foliage provides year-round structure, turning a reddish-bronze in colder weather for added seasonal interest. Best grown in acidic, well-drained soil and partial shade, 'Blue Danube' is low-maintenance and fully hardy, making it a striking and reliable choice for enhancing UK gardens with vibrant spring color.

• Growing Conditions:

• Soil: Azalea japonica thrives in acidic, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. If your soil is alkaline, consider using ericaceous compost or growing the plant in containers.
• Light: Prefers partial shade, especially in areas with dappled sunlight. Full sun can cause leaf scorch, while deep shade may reduce flowering.
• Watering: Requires regular watering to maintain consistently moist soil, particularly during dry periods. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
