Description
One of the most hard-to-find of the Glenn Dale Hybrids, the Fawn Azalea features abundant mesmerizing bicolor flowers with white petals having a purplish pink wavy margin. The flowers start out funnel shaped but open so wide they appear almost flat, and appear in such abundance they nearly cover the entire shrub. Though the flower coloration is similar to ‘Martha Hitchcock’ Azalea, Fawn is a smaller shrub that all grown up might reach only 4 feet in height with a spread of 4 to 5 feet while retaining a denser and more compact form. Blooming in mid to late spring, Fawn is one of those rare beauties that will always have you looking forward to its bloom. Butterflies and hummingbirds love the flowers, and blooming branches can be cut for use to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to 3 to 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide or so, the Fawn Azalea is ideal for use as an accent or specimen in smaller garden spaces, home foundation plantings and mixed flowering shrub borders, or in groupings or as a border in the landscape or woodland border. A fine addition to azalea and rhododendron gardens, butterfly and hummingbird gardens, Asian gardens and partially shaded woodland gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3.5 feet apart for solid hedges; 8 feet apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Evergreen Azaleas are easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot. They prefer a moist but well-drained and acidic soil that is rich in organic matter and part sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun is ideal. Moderate drought tolerance when established.
