Azalea Elsa Karga

Azalea Elsa Karga is a hardy evergreen azalea renowned for its semi-double, vibrant red flowers that begin to emerge in late winter and continue through into spring. This captivating display provides a much-needed splash of colour during the colder months, brightening up any garden space.

Perfect for woodland-styled gardens, shaded borders, or as a striking container plant, Azalea Elsa Karga is versatile and adaptable. It thrives in gardens designed with a naturalistic or woodland style and can also complement more formal settings. This azalea prefers light shade, ensuring it receives dappled sunlight, which helps maintain the intensity of its flower colour.

For optimal growth, plant Azalea Elsa Karga in moist, well-draining, acidic soil. Regular watering during hot and dry periods is essential to keep the plant healthy and vibrant. In spring, fertilise with an acid fertiliser and mulch with organic material to conserve soil moisture and provide necessary nutrients. Minimal pruning is required; lightly prune to maintain its shape and deadhead old buds to encourage new growth and a fuller appearance.

Azalea Elsa Karga matures to a compact size of 60 to 80 cm in height and width, forming a neat and well-rounded bush. Its semi-double, red flowers and evergreen foliage create a stunning display, offering year-round beauty and enhancing the charm of any garden space.
