Planting & Care Guide
Position: 'Starstyle Pink' thrives in partial shade to full sun. It does best in light, dappled shade or morning sun with afternoon shade, especially in warmer climates. In hotter areas, some afternoon shade will protect it from scorching and help it thrive.
Soil: This azalea prefers well-drained, acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 6.0. If your soil is alkaline or heavy, amend it with organic material like compost or peat moss to create the ideal acidic environment for healthy growth.
Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish a strong root system. Once established, 'Starstyle Pink' is relatively drought-tolerant but will perform best with consistent moisture, particularly during dry periods. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged to avoid root rot.
Maintenance:
-
Prune lightly after blooming to remove spent flowers and maintain a neat, rounded shape. Pruning will help encourage new growth and improve the overall health of the shrub.
-
Mulch around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the roots in colder months.
-
Fertilize in early spring with a fertilizer made for acid-loving plants to encourage lush growth and vibrant blooms.
