Azalea Cockatoo Details

Azalea mollis Cockatoo is grown for its lovely form and profuse flowering. This hardy, deciduous shrub produces masses of scented, apricot-orange flowers with a pink outer from winter until late spring. It typically grows to 1.2 m tall and the same wide, growing best when planted in a semi-shade or full sun position on a well-drained, sheltered site. When grown in full sun it tends to be more compact. It is tolerant of frost and cold environments but does require good soil moisture levels during dry periods. When fertilising, avoid using lime as this will stunt or even kill plants. Azalea Cockatoo is a great choice for adding to a mixed or border planting, planting around outdoor living areas such as pool and barbecue areas, including in cottage gardens, or using anywhere a stunning plant is required. Mass planting provides for an amazing display with this variety.
