My Goodness - Azalea Mollis

4 strong suits

Striking flowers

Large clusters with flowers that stand out courtesy of their shape and eye-catching colours. The beautiful change in colour this shrub is seen to undergo in the autumn is more than just a nice little extra.

Perennial

Azalea Mollis is no one hit wonder. It develops at its ease, blooms with exuberance and takes its time to plays to its strengths during flowering.

Variegated colour palette

Azalea Mollis sets out its stall as far as late spring with orange, red, white or yellow small flowers. Once the flowers have dropped off, the plant sprouts foliage which changes colour in the autumn. After summer comes autumn. After orange comes red. The plant changes colour and adapts to the new season.

Fragrant flowers

Azalea Mollis comes in several variants. Some variants give off a wonderful fragrance which is easiest to enjoy in the morning and the evening.

4 care and maintenance tips

Light

Azalea Mollis loves the sun although it can also do with some shade every now and then. A sunny to semi-shaded spot works a treat.

Water

This rhododendron variant needs sufficient water, but Azalea Mollis does not like to get its feet wet. So please do not overwater your plant.

Requires little to no looking after

Pruning or feeding is not an absolute must for this plant. An added boost in the form of some maintenance fertiliser obviously can't do any harm.

Acidic soil

Azalea Mollis is an acid-loving plant. Plant it in a soil with a pH value that is not too acidic but is not too calcareous either.
