Rosebud Azalea

Planting and Application:

Space-saving broad-leaved evergreen Azaleas are highly coveted! They add spots of light to the landscape all year round. Of course, it makes the biggest impression in the late spring. It can also make a great addition to containers! Bring the plants right up onto the patio or next to your entryways. They're sure to make a dazzling first impression!

Use in your borders. Plant in a line to create a clean line or use them with other broad-leaved evergreens and conifers with darker foliage like Boxwoods or Thujas for a delightful-looking mixed border. Use them as the centerpiece in your island beds to give your yard some texture along with a low-maintenance pop of color each year.

If you're working with limited space, Rosebud is for you. It keeps a nice compact shape that lends perfectly to cottage gardens and accents next to your patios. If you happen to be working with a larger space, we suggest ordering a few and using them in a mass planting. Or space them out a little more sporadically to give a more natural feel.

Woodland gardens with dappled sunlight poking through deciduous trees above are also fantastic places to showcase this Azalea. The light shade helps preserve the blossoms and keeps the flower show going longer! Planting on the east side of your house works beautifully as well. Foundation planting is a strength and the east-facing exposure means Rosebud gets morning sun and some afternoon relief.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

There are plenty of ways you can make sure this award winner reaches its full potential! The easiest is to make sure it's planted in the right spot. Broad-leaved Rhododendrons and Azaleas love the part shade. Plant them somewhere they'll get some sun in the morning and shade the rest of the day. They'll thank you generously!

Another consideration is the soil you'll be planting in. Moist, well-drained soil full of rich, acidic organic matter is best. We recommend laying down a layer of mulch around the plant. It's a rather shallow-rooted shrub and the mulch helps keep the moisture even without being wet which causes root rot. The right color also helps tie the garden together and keep it looking clean.

You might find yourself wanting to give Rosebud a trim every so often. Pruning is best done once the flowers are done for the season and grab your favorite pair of gardening shears. You'll only want to trim right after flowering. Any other time and you run the risk of hurting next spring's blooms!

• Grows Best in Part Shade
• Enriched, Slightly Acidic Well-Drained Soil
• Moderate Consistent Moisture Needs
• Appreciates Mulched Beds
• Prune Immediately After Flower
• Excellent Mildew Resistance

Azalea and Rhododendron Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to plant an Azalea bush?

Azaleas and Rhododendrons prefer partial shade (both dappled shade all day or morning sun with afternoon shade). Plant in a slightly acidic, consistently moist, enriched, and well-drained soil location for best results. Their shallow roots dislike soggy soil but thrive with a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch over their surface.

How big does an Azalea bush get?

Rosebud Azalea can reach around 2-3 feet in height and 3-4 feet in width in optimal conditions.

Are Azalea bushes low maintenance?

Azalea and Rhododendron shrubs are very easy to grow and low-maintenance. Water during drought, prune only after flowering, and fertilize with an acid-loving organic, slow-release flowering plant fertilizer.

What is the difference between Rhododendrons and Azaleas?

All Azaleas are Rhododendrons but not all Rhodondendrons are Azaleas. Azalea tends to be smaller-sized with smaller leaves and stems, while Rhododendrons can be larger with stout branching and larger bloom trusses. There can both be either deciduous or broad-leaved evergreens.
