Noteworthy Characteristics
The Southern Charm Azalea is one of the best of the sun and heat-tolerant evergreen Southern India Azaleas. Grows more rapidly than other types of azaleas to 8' tall with an equal spread. In spring, large, bright pink flowers nearly cover the foliage.
Uses
Southern Charm Azalea is most useful as a natural hedge or in small to large groupings in landscape beds. Performs exceptionally well under tall pine trees. Also useful in home foundation plantings, espalier (grown flat against a wall), or "limbed up" to be a small tree for containers or garden beds.
Culture & Care Tips
Azaleas prefer a well draining, moist and acidic soil rich in organic matter. As one of the Southern Indica Azaleas, Formosa will tolerate full sun to part shade. That being said, some dappled sun or shade during the hottest part of summer afternoons would be appreciated.
