Azalea Mollis Persil 4.5 Litre Pot

Azalea mollis ‘Persil’ – Elegant White Azalea with Soft Yellow Markings

Azalea mollis ‘Persil’ is a refined and elegant deciduous azalea, producing clusters of large white trumpet-shaped flowers in late spring. Each bloom is beautifully marked with a soft yellow flare at the throat, creating a luminous display that brightens borders and woodland planting.

The flowers appear as the fresh green foliage begins to develop, allowing their clean white tones to stand out clearly against the young leaves. Planted in groups or combined with other azaleas, ‘Persil’ creates a striking yet graceful spring display.

With its naturally bushy, upright habit, this azalea works beautifully in mixed borders and woodland-style planting schemes. Its light colouring pairs especially well with pastel rhododendrons, ferns, and other shade-loving plants.

Like most mollis azaleas, ‘Persil’ thrives in partial shade and prefers acidic, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Once established, it is hardy and reliable, requiring little maintenance beyond light pruning after flowering.

Graceful, luminous, and easy to grow, Azalea ‘Persil’ is a superb choice for adding elegant late spring colour to UK gardens.
