Description
Azalea 'Rani' is a stunning and vibrant addition to any garden. This evergreen shrub boasts large, showy blooms in shades of deep red or pink, adding a touch of color and cheer to any landscape. The flowers are borne in large clusters in May, and the glossy green leaves provide a perfect backdrop for the blooms. Growing to a mature height and width of 0.6 meters, it flourishes in full sun or partial shade, and prefers a sheltered location. It takes 5-10 years to reach its full maturity, but once it does, it becomes a low-maintenance plant and does not require pruning. However, this plant is susceptible to aphids, vine weevil, and scale insects, as well as powdery mildew and bud blast. It prefers moist, well-draining soil and thrives in acidic conditions.
