Description

A rare and unusual member of the sun and heat tolerant family of evergreen Southern Indica Azaleas, ‘Lady Cavendish’ features a variation of showy flowers with petals in variegated pink and white to shades of solid pink or almost white flowers with a splash of deep fuchsia freckles on the upper petal. The pistil is rose pink with white filaments. An early to mid-season bloomer that is more spreading than upright to 3 to 4 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide in maybe 10 years. Excellent as a specimen, grouping or colorful evergreen hedge.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in spreading mound 4 to 5 feet tall and 5 to 6 feet wide, the Lady Cavendish Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a natural hedge in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. The plants perform exceptionally well under tall pine trees. A fine addition to Azalea gardens, pink theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedges; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Southern Indica Azaleas are very easy to grow. They prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter and full sun to part shade. That said, we think they perform and look their best with a little shade or filtered sunlight during the hottest part of summer afternoons. Established plants have good drought tolerance.
