Description

Azalea 'Thierry' is a wonderful, dwarf evergreen shrub growing dark, glossy foliage and large rosy red flowers in May and June. Best planted in a partial shade or full shade position, in a well-drained acidic soil. As it is suitable for container growing, we recommend planting Azalea 'Thierry' in a large planter with ericaceous compost—perfect for brightening up a shady patio. As an evergreen, it also provides year-round interest so lends itself well to shady shrub borders. Expect an approximate height and spread of 1.5 x 1 metres in 20 years.

AKA Rhododendron Azalea 'Thierry', Azalea japonica 'Thierry'

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.
