This mini standard azalea is a fabulous alternative to cut flowers and as a potted plant, will last beyond the typical vase life of many floral arrangements. If kept in a cool room and watered regularly, the delicate pink flowers will last for several weeks. Depending on availability, there may be some slight colour variation with these blooms, with some being darker or lighter pink.
Please note that the plant comes in a 13cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.
How to care for Azalea simsii standard pink:
Keep in a cool, humid room where it will receive plenty of light, and keep well watered - taking care to never let the compost dry out completely. If possible, water with rain water, particularly if you live in a hard water area. Maintain temperatures around 15°C and mist with water on a daily basis. After all risk of frost has passed, the plants can be moved outside during the warmer months before being moved back inside again in the autumn. Feed in spring with a diluted (half-strength) liquid feed that is suitable for acid-loving plants.
