Azalea simsii mix P14

Azalea simsii mix P14

Indian azalea (Rhododendron simsii) is a tender, evergreen azalea usually grown as an indoor pot plant, valued for its profuse winter to spring display of blooms in a wide range of colours. Give bright, indirect light (light shade), in acidic ericaceous compost that is kept evenly moist but well-drained; avoid hot midday sun and waterlogging. Compact and bushy, it makes an attractive container plant, typically maturing to around 60–80cm over time. Not frost hardy—grow indoors or in frost-free, sheltered conditions and remove spent flowers to keep plants tidy.
