Description

The Aromi Sunrise Native Azalea is a spring-blooming deciduous rhododendron. This Azalea produces red-orange buds open to yellow-orange in mid-spring. After the spring bloom green foliage emerges as a light green before maturing to an emerald green hue that will turn orange-bronze in autumn and then will fall off.

The Aromi Sunrise Native Azalea matures to 4-6' H x 4-6' W, which will create a large bright display of blooms each spring

Try it in a border, Woodland Garden, or mixed bed.

Plant it with evergreen contrasting color and texture plants for maximum effect, such as the Soft Caress Mahonia or Nandinas.

Aromi Sunrise Native Azalea Care

Hardy from USDA Zones 7-8

Plant in Partial Sun for best results. Filtered Sun for much of the day or 2-3 hours of direct sun a day is sufficient. Too much sun will stress the plant, while too little sun will result in decreased foliage and bloom potential.

This rhododendron has only medium water requirements once established. For the first growing season, provide supplementary water 2-3 times a week in average weather conditions.

The Aromi Sunrise Native Azalea prefers acidic to neutral soil for best results. In addition, ensure that the soil drains well in order to avoid root rot.

Fertilize in early spring with a balanced acidic plant fertilizer. This will help ensure future growth and blooms, as well as promote the overall well-being of your plant.

Trim after the bloom cycle has ended. The Aromi Sunrise Native Azalea, like other yearly blooming rhododendrons, begins compiling the next year's blooms after the end of the current year's cycle. Trimming too late will decrease the number of potential blooms for the next year.

Care & Use

Getting Started: Understanding Your New Plant

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations
