Plant details
Formerly known as Azalea pontica, this central European species has been cultivated in gardens for two centuries and has now become naturalised in places. It is a deciduous azalea, making a large open bush with long sticky drooping leaves which turn gorgeous shades of purple, crimson and orange for a month or two in autumn. The blooms are a bright clear yellow in open rounded heads, with a rich and unforgettable fragrance. Plants prefer dappled shade, and are ideal for growing under deciduous trees or at the back of a shaded border. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
