Azalea 'Charlie'

Common Name: Azalea ‘Charlie’

Description:
Azalea ‘Charlie’ is a compact, evergreen shrub renowned for its vibrant, deep pink flowers that bloom in abundance during spring. The blossoms are semi-double, adding a rich, textured appearance to the plant. Its dark green foliage provides year-round structure and contrast, making it a stunning choice for garden borders, pots, and shaded garden beds. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, Azalea ‘Charlie’ prefers well-drained, acidic soil and a position with morning sun and afternoon shade. It is ideal for cottage gardens, mass planting, and underplanting taller trees. Regular pruning after flowering encourages a dense habit and promotes future blooms.
