Description

Azalea 'Cannon's Double' is a small deciduous shrub, flowering in the spring and maintaining its foliage from summer to autumn. Boasting stunning soft apricot and vibrant pink-toned flowers, the large, rounded trusses contrast beautifully with the deep green leaves. Its compact size makes it ideal for potting and small gardens, and its combination of hardiness and low maintenance has earned it the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

'Cannon's Double' will flourish in humus-rich, acidic soil in partial shade.  The soil should be kept moist if the plant is placed in full sun. The shrub should be sheltered from frost pockets and needs to be mulched annually. It has an ultimate height and spread of approximately 2.5 x 1.5 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.
