The Sun Glow Azalea is known for the bold, red-pink blooms it produces. The shrub grows to a height and width of 4-5 feet. The leaves are dark green and elliptical shaped. Green foliage transitions to red with the arrival of cool weather.

The Sun Glow Azalea is great to use as a property border or even as a foundation planting. It can be used as a hedge and looks great as a lone specimen. Plant this Azalea in a wooded natural area to add splashes of color to your landscape.

The Sun Glow Azalea prefers partial sun to partial shade and well drained acidic soil. Keep this in mind when choosing a place to plant. This Azalea is disease resistant, low maintenance, and cold hardy.

When planting your Azalea be sure you have the right location and conditions for your new plants to thrive.

Planting time: Spring and Fall are ideal times to plant Azaleas. However, if you avoid freezing and extremely hot temperatures you can plant any time of the year.

Sun: Full sun tends to burn most Azaleas especially in warmer climates so look for a site that provides a balanced mix of shade and sun.

Soil: Be sure your soil is well-drained and acidic. If you have alkaline soil, be sure to amend your soil. To acidify your soil amend with compost, elemental sulfur, or use fertilizers specific for acid loving plants. Mulching with pine straw or pine bark will help over time as they begin to break down, but are not an immediate solution. To improve drainage in something like a heavy clay soil, add compost and be sure to loosen up the soil well before planting.

Fertilizer: Choose a fertilizer for acid loving plants. Fertilize in late winter or early spring to give the upcoming blooms a boost.

Pruning: You don’t need to prune azaleas, but pruning after they are done blooming can help encourage a bushier growth and renew an older plant.
