Azalea indica Anna Kehr

Common Name:
Azalea ‘Anna Kehr’

Description:
Azalea ‘Anna Kehr’ is a beautiful evergreen azalea prized for its large, softly ruffled blooms in warm shades of coral-pink and salmon-pink. Flowering prolifically from late winter through to spring, the lush double flowers create an elegant display against the dense, glossy dark green foliage. Its compact, rounded habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, woodland-style gardens, low hedging, and decorative pots. Well-suited to Melbourne’s temperate climate, ‘Anna Kehr’ thrives in part shade with protection from harsh afternoon sun and drying winds. It performs best in moist, well-drained, acidic soil enriched with organic matter. This variety is highly regarded for its refined flower form, reliable flowering performance, and vibrant seasonal colour.
