Formosa Azalea is an upright hybrid evergreen shrub with narrow dark green leaves. The clusters of large rich lavender flowers with a dark blotch begin to bloom in spring. Cold winters may freeze the flower buds and reduce bloom come spring, and leaves may experience winter burn. A very versatile plant that prefers partial sun with acidic rich, well-drained soils. Azaleas are excellent pollination and butterfly attractors. Formosa are very sun tolerant and can take near full sun.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance. Moderate water needs, properly drained soils is a must to avoid root rot. Mulch helps to keep roots from drying out. Keep away from drip lines of the walnut family. Acidify soils as needed (PH range of 5 to 6.5) Southern climates with excessive humidity are more prone to powdery mildew, twig blights, and rust. Azaleas are prone to many diseases and pest problems, but the proper environment and care should negate most of them.
LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Wildlife Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Foundational Plantings, Hedges, and Containers.

Hahira Nursery takes pride in growing high-quality, fresh, healthy plants and ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, and with little to no damage so they are ready to be planted.
Despite all of our best efforts, once the plants have left our nursery, there are many variables outside of our control that can cause plants, flowers, trees, shrubs, or grasses to not thrive as they should. Plants are living organisms and are susceptible to a number of different environmental and care factors that are outside of our control.
Our goal is to build strong relationships with our customers and we always want to make things right, but we cannot always guarantee what happens once the plants are outside of our nursery, how you care for the plants, if they’re in the correct growing zones, weather damage, soil conditions, insect infestations, etc..
If you have any questions or concerns about a purchase you’ve made, please email us at info@hahiranursery.com and we will work with you on a case-by-case basis to the best of our ability.
Please note that all living organisms are not identical and their coloring, size, and shapes may differ from what you see online in our store. Each plant has its own characteristics that are impacted by the time of year, growth cycle, weather, and other elements which will cause them to look different than their photos.
