Azalea Japonica Laura Moorland 15 Litre Pot

Azalea japonica 'Laura Moorland' is an elegant evergreen shrub that stands out for its vibrant purple-pink blooms and compact size. This eye-catching azalea is highly popular in UK gardens due to its ability to thrive in cooler climates, its relatively low-maintenance needs, and its striking floral display in late spring. It's an ideal plant for adding color to borders, woodland gardens, or patio containers.

Key Characteristics:

• Foliage: The evergreen leaves of 'Laura Moorland' are small, glossy, and dark green. The foliage remains attractive year-round, with some leaves turning bronze or reddish in colder months, adding seasonal interest.
• Flowers: This variety is known for its profuse purple-pink blooms. The flowers, which appear in clusters during late spring (May-June), are funnel-shaped and vibrant, creating a bold contrast against the dark green foliage.
• Size: It is a compact, slow-growing shrub, typically reaching about 60-80 cm (2-3 feet) in height and spread, making it suitable for smaller garden spaces or as part of a mixed border

Growing Conditions:

• Soil: Azalea japonica 'Laura Moorland' thrives in acidic, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. It’s important to avoid alkaline soils, as this can lead to poor growth. If your soil isn’t naturally acidic, growing it in containers with ericaceous compost is recommended.
• Light: This variety prefers partial shade, particularly in areas with morning sun and afternoon shade. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much exposure may cause the leaves to scorch. It will flower less in deep shade.
• Watering: Azaleas prefer consistently moist soil, so regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods. However, ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged roots.

Uses:

• Borders & Shrub Beds: Its compact size and showy flowers make it a great choice for mixed borders or as a low-growing feature shrub.
• Containers: Ideal for growing in pots or containers, especially where acidic soil conditions need to be controlled.
• Woodland Gardens: This azalea thrives in woodland-style gardens, where it benefits from dappled light and rich, organic soils.
• Rock Gardens: Given its small size and compact habit, it can also be used in rockeries or as ground cover in larger plantings.
