This azalea was one of those tiny little multi-buys around 4 years - it's aleardy reached a height of around 40cm and grows in complete shade next to the dreaded Lily of the valley which comes through the fence from next door!

Beautiful!

I really like azaleas and I look at them a lot in the plant shops...I'm told that some of them will grow in any type of soil now...but I'm too scared to try...

Thanks every one - pleased you all like it.
Karen - grow one in a container - I've got a dwarf Azalea that has been in the same container for around 5 years - although I've had the plant for around 12. Dug it out the old garden to bring here and have never bothered taking it out as it seems to like it.
I just remove some of the old compost - top it up with ericacious compost and feed it a couple of times throughout the year.
Also have a look here

That is good advice Scottish. I too have a couple in pots and they do well. Azaleas seem to be much hardier and free flowering than the rhododendrons and not nearly as fussy.

Food for thought, girls...

...I'm formulating yet another plan!

I know just the right place for the pots...merde!
Budget blown for two months!!

I agree about them being less fussy Scotsgran - whilst the Roddies are looking rotten this year - all the azaleas seem to be thriving!
Karen...another plan...me thinks you deserve to formulate as many as you like - with recent events - you deserve them all!!
