Description

Azalea 'Jolie Madame' is a medium-sized deciduous shrub that blooms intense fuchsia flowers with delicate orange markings. The beautiful trusses of trumpet-shaped flowers also provide a gentle fragrance for the garden. In autumn, the leaves turn from glossy deep green to maroon red, adding another burst of color before winter arrives. Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Jolie Madame' is hardy, low-maintenance, and perfect for brightening a garden border.

This shrub thrives in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-drained, acidic soil. It needs to be placed in a sheltered setting, but will survive temperatures of -20. Its ultimate height and spread is 2.5 to 1.5 meters. 

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Rhododendron and Azalea are generally low maintenance however they will require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. Rainwater is preferred but tap water can also be used. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

Rhododendron and Azalea are acid-loving plants so when grown in acidic soil are unlikely to need additional feeding. However, if the acidity of your soil is low, iron, manganese and magnesium treatments can be added to prevent browning and yellowing of the leaves. Potted Rhododendron and Azalea may also benefit from a slow-release granular fertiliser which provides an on-going support of nutrients.

Most Rhododendron and Azalea belong to RHS 'Pruning Group 8,' meaning they require minimal pruning. After they finish flowering, you should remove any deadheads and address any diseased or damaged branches, but otherwise, they should be left unpruned.
