Rhododendron 'Nakaharai Azalea' is a compact, evergreen azalea known for its vibrant, funnel-shaped blooms and lush green foliage. This hardy, low-growing shrub is ideal for borders, rock gardens, or container planting, bringing bright color and a refined texture to the landscape.

Description:

  • Dimensions: Grows to a height of 1-2 feet and spreads about 2-3 feet wide.
  • Sun Exposure: Prefers part sun, thriving in 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day, with afternoon shade in warmer climates.

How to Plant:

  • Location: Choose a partially shaded area with acidic, well-drained soil.
  • Soil Preparation: Amend soil with organic matter, such as peat moss or compost, to improve drainage and acidity.
  • Planting: Dig a hole the same depth as the root ball and twice as wide. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
  • Spacing: Space plants 2-3 feet apart to allow for their spreading growth habit.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after planting, and maintain consistent moisture, particularly during dry periods.
