Azalea mollis 'Jolie Madame' - Deciduous Azalea
This beautiful deciduous azalea offers two seasons of outstanding interest with its fragrant rose-pink spring blooms and spectacular autumn foliage. The flowers appear before the leaves in late spring, creating a stunning floral display, while the foliage provides brilliant orange and red tones in autumn.
Seasonal Highlights
Spectacular in late spring when covered in clusters of sweetly fragrant rose-pink flowers that appear on bare stems, creating a striking effect. The display lasts several weeks and fills the garden with delicious scent. In autumn, the foliage transforms into brilliant shades of orange, red and yellow before falling, providing a second season of interest.

Growing Tips
Plant in moist, well-drained acidic soil enriched with organic matter. Position in partial shade or dappled sunlight with protection from strong winds.

Prune only to remove dead or damaged wood after flowering.
