Description
Azalea Delaware Valley White is prized for its profusion of pure white blossoms that appear in late spring, brightening partially shaded gardens with a crisp display of color. In cooler climates, its foliage often remains semi-evergreen, offering subtle interest beyond the blooming season. Thanks to its compact form, this azalea adapts well to foundation plantings, borders, or woodland gardens, and can be a delightful container specimen with proper soil and moisture.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers partial shade, receiving at least 3–4 hours of filtered sunlight each day.
- Soil: Grows best in acidic, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
- Watering: Maintain even soil moisture, especially during flowering and warm spells. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
- Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperature.
- Pruning: Light pruning after blooming will help maintain a neat form and support healthy growth.
Azalea Delaware Valley White brings a clean, refined presence to northern landscapes and is a reliable choice for brightening shaded spaces without overwhelming smaller gardens.
