About this deal

Azaleas are flowering shrubs in the genus Rhododendron, used to refer to generally smaller-growing evergreen and deciduous varieties with smaller leaves. Azaleas are acid-loving plants producing long-lasting spring flowers which clothe the entire bush, available in a wide variety of colours. They are easy to grow and shade tolerant, making them perfect for growing under the canopies of trees or adding instant impact and colour to drab parts of the garden. Generally slow growing, Azaleas are effective when grown standalone or in mass plantings in larger areas. Trim after flowing to encourage a bushy growth habit. See our Rhododendrons category for generally larger varieties with sizable, leathery evergreen leaves. Deciduous – Deciduous azaleas lose their leaves in fall. They include species native to North America, Europe, and Asia. Flowers are usually tubular.

Fast growing, with short, fine fibres in the wood make it suitable for fine-grade paper, as well as tissue paper and high quality coated papers. Eucalyptus oil is sought after as an industrial solvent, antiseptic, deodoriser, a natural insect repellant, and in small amounts as a food supplements. The wood is used in the crafting of musical instruments, most notably the Didgeridoo, and most of the rest of any Eucalyptus tree can be used in the making of dyes. All of this is, of course, in addition to the beauty of the foliage and the flowers that make Eucalyptus one of the most recognizable trees in Australia.Citrus – Plant deliveries are to Melbourne metro area only.

Apply a generous three to four-inch layer of organic mulch– pine bark, pine needle straw, shredded leaves, or straw. Create a mulch-free well around the stem base to keep the wood dry. This helps prevent rot and keeps rodents from nibbling the bark.Harden off plants in May by transferring them from warm to cooler conditions and standing them outdoors when danger of frost is past. Plunge the pots to the rim in a bed of ericaceous peat-free compostto avoid the danger of frequent drying out. The best time to layer is in early spring before leaves have emerged, but early fall works as well. Insert the lower third of each stem into a small container filled with a moist rooting medium, such as a combination of one-third compost, one-third peat moss or vermiculite, and one-third sand. The only way to ensure a clone of the parent plant is to propagate vegetatively, via stem cuttings or stem layering.

The dripline is an imaginary circle that extends from the furthest branch tip all the way around the plant. Use this as a guide when digging up young shrubs – root growth is typically contained within the dripline. Evergreens are the easiest to propagate from cuttings, while deciduous varieties typically give the best results when layered. From Stem Cuttings Azaleas have shallow roots and require well-drained soil. If your garden is poorly drained, consider planting azaleas in containers or a raised bed. They thrive in low pH, or more acidic, conditions. If you have high pH, or more alkaline soil, you’ll need to amend your growing area. Aluminum sulfate, sulfur, coffee grounds, and pine needles are good for this. Peat moss used to be recommended, but due to environmental concerns it is no longer a good option. Golden Lights': The bright golden-orange blooms on this 'Northern Lights' cultivar offer a dramatic color for the spring landscape. Cold-hardy (USDA zones 3 to 7) and compact (3 to 6 feet), the flower trusses are flat and contain ten flowers in shades ranging from butter yellow to orange with salmon-pink highlights.

Menu Toggle There has been quite a lot of consumer interest in Encore Azaleas since they were seen on TV in 2015 at the Augusta National Golf Club in America for the Golf Masters,” David told me. “Unfortunately, the first plants introduced to Europe were not hardy enough, with our cooler summers the wood didn't harden enough for winter. More recent selections have been trialled for Northern European conditions and seem more suitable. More than thirty varieties have been released over the years, and the most suitable have now been chosen for sale in Britain. I asked David Millais of rhododendron and azalea specialist of Millais Rhododendrons, and vice chair of the RHS Rhododendron, Camellia and Magnolia Group, about this reblooming series.
