azalea Berry Rose
(x. Knaphill) This variety has attractive new shoots of copper-green. Its name applies to the colour of its blossoms, which appear in April and May in round bouquets of fragrant, dusty-rose with warm flames of orange and yellow at their centres. Grows as wide as it does high.
Use
In shrubberies in association with other deciduous Azaleas, Japanese Azaleas, Rhododendrons, maples, Pieris, Camellias, etc., in boxes or pots, or as an undergrowth plant.
Planting
In cool, acid soil. Dig a hole three times the size of the root ball. Remove the plant from its container and thoroughly soak the root ball. Half-fill the hole with a mixture of acid compost and non-chalky soil, place the plant (not too deeply) in the hole, and continue filling around the root ball. Water well after planting.
Maintenance
Water well during dry periods and especially in the first year after planting, at least once a week. Add a specialised fertiliser during the spring. Mulching the area around the plant, for example with pine bark chips, is recommended.
