Where to Position Your Azalea Japonica 'Stewartstonian'

This azalea is perfect for creating vibrant colour in both formal and informal garden settings.

Growth and Maintenance

This azalea requires minimal upkeep. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist, but be cautious of waterlogging.
