Description

Azalea 'Golden Eagle' is a deciduous shrub that has trumpet-shaped, vibrant orange flowers with softer yellow tones. The foliage consists of mid-green leaves, which turn yellow in the autumn. This shrub provides a magnificent glow to any garden with trusses of 12 flowers. It has been recognized with the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its hardiness and low-maintenance qualities. Its medium-size makes it ideal for borders and patios.

The Golden Eagle thrives in light shade within a sheltered environment. It prefers moist but well-drained, acidic soil with an ideal pH of 4.5-5.5. It will eventually reach a height and spread of approximately 2.5 meters.

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Rhododendron and Azalea are generally low maintenance however they will require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. Rainwater is preferred but tap water can also be used. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

Rhododendron and Azalea are acid-loving plants so when grown in acidic soil are unlikely to need additional feeding. However, if the acidity of your soil is low, iron, manganese and magnesium treatments can be added to prevent browning and yellowing of the leaves. Potted Rhododendron and Azalea may also benefit from a slow-release granular fertiliser which provides an on-going support of nutrients.

Most Rhododendron and Azalea belong to RHS 'Pruning Group 8,' meaning they require minimal pruning. After they finish flowering, you should remove any deadheads and address any diseased or damaged branches, but otherwise, they should be left unpruned.
