The Japanese Azalea Geisha Purple is a purple flower dream
The azalea is hardy and evergreen. The small ornamental shrub adorns itself with countless purple flowers from May to June. It makes a great colour accent in the garden. The azalea Geisha Purple reaches a height of 40 to 60 centimetres. It grows broadly upright, dense and compact. The flowering shrub is suitable as an enchanting ground cover and a magnificent specimen. Japanese azaleas like this are also a great eye-catcher in the garden on the terrace or balcony. The funnel-shaped purple flowers of the azaleas are long-stalked. The edge of the flowers is delicately wavy. The flowers have a pleasant fragrance and attract bees, bumblebees and other insects. The dark green foliage of the plant perfectly enhances the radiance of the flowers. The leaves are smooth and shiny on top. They are broadly elliptical in shape. The garden azaleas not only score with their magically beautiful flowers in spring. They also give the garden structure in winter. Azaleas should therefore be part of every garden.
Why you should buy azaleas
Azaleas are extremely versatile and fit into every garden concept. Azaleas blend into small gardens as well as parks or formal urban gardens and front yards. They look beautiful in the garden by the front door or in the courtyard. The ornamental shrubs are suitable for planting under larger shrubs or even Bäumen. This shrub also cuts a fine figure as ground cover on slopes or in bog beds. It looks great in a Japanese-style garden next to stones, conifers, shining medlars or skimmias Especially in a group planting, Japanese azaleas can't be topped. In this case, four to eight plants per square metre are needed. The Geisha Purple azalea should be planted in partial shade. The plant will also tolerate sunny spots as long as the soil does not become dry. A well-drained, peaty, acidic garden soil is ideal.
Care and prune Japanese azaleas
The annual growth of the plant is between ten and 15 centimetres. In order for Japanese azaleas to keep their compact, accurate growth, you need to prune them into shape after flowering. For cold plants, make sure that the azalea does not dry out. Even in winter it should get a little water on frost-free days. This is because the evergreen shrub constantly evaporates water through its leaves. If you want to buy an azalea, you can plant it all year round on frost-free days. This garden azalea Geisha Purple is a beauty. Japanese azaleas add an exotic charm to your garden. Especially by the garden pond, azaleas are a flowering dream when they gently surround the edge of the pond. The long-distance effect of garden azaleas is also fantastic in the rock garden or the heather garden.
