While many azaleas are ideal for hedging and screening, Azalea Coral Bells is a wonderful choice when you want to create a taller ground-cover effect. Growing just 2–4’ tall, it spreads up to 5’ out—perfect for when you need to fill a larger space with a mass planting. Gorgeous semi-double coral-pink petals have darker pink centers for added interest, and when it’s not in bloom, the evergreen foliage takes over and delivers that winter interest that we all want in our gardens. Expect to water it deeply and regularly during the first year as it gets established and puts down roots, then regular watering after that. When planting in our Texas gardens, plan to give it afternoon dappled sun/shade to protect it from our harsher sun and heat conditions. A late winter/early spring fertilizing will boost that flower power, as will a light pruning after bloom is finished for the season.
