Azalea japonica 'Silver Sword' is a captivating evergreen shrub renowned for its striking foliage and beautiful floral display. This hybrid azalea stands out with its distinctive silvery-green leaves that provide a unique backdrop to its vibrant blooms. In spring, 'Silver Sword' produces a profusion of bright white flowers with delicate pink tinges, creating a stunning contrast that enhances any garden setting. Its compact growth habit and hardiness make it an excellent choice for UK gardens, whether in borders, containers, or as a feature plant.

Key Characteristics:

  • Size: Grows to a height and spread of approximately 1 to 1.2 metres (3-4 feet), making it a compact option perfect for smaller gardens or as part of mixed borders.
  • Foliage: Evergreen, with glossy, silvery-green leaves that add texture and interest throughout the year, ensuring the plant looks attractive even when not in bloom.
  • Flowers: Produces stunning clusters of white flowers with a hint of pink in the spring. These fragrant blooms are highly attractive to pollinators, adding to the plant's ecological value.
  • Growth Habit: Compact and bushy, forming a dense mound that creates an appealing structure in the garden.

Growing Conditions:

  • Soil: Prefers acidic, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Ideal for planting in ericaceous compost if grown in containers. Moist but well-drained soil is essential for optimal growth.
  • Light: Thrives in partial shade, although it can tolerate some morning sun. Protection from harsh afternoon sunlight will prevent leaf scorch.
  • Watering: Requires consistent moisture, particularly during dry spells. Regular watering is crucial, but avoid waterlogging to protect the roots.

Ideal Uses:

  • Borders & Shrub Beds: 'Silver Sword' is an excellent choice for adding color and texture to mixed borders and shrub beds, complementing other spring-flowering plants.
  • Woodland Gardens: Its preference for partial shade makes it a great addition to woodland gardens, where it can thrive in dappled light.
  • Containers: Suitable for large containers, making it a great choice for patios or terraces where acidic soil is not naturally available.
  • Feature Planting: The striking foliage and blooms make 'Silver Sword' a standout specimen plant, ideal for focal points in the garden.
