Description
An extremely hard-to-find selection from the Earl Sommerville Collection, Rhododendron 'Anne Marie' is a native Azalea that shows off abundant large clusters of multicolor flowers that light up the garden in early to mid spring. The trumpet-shaped pink flowers have a white throat and a splash of yellow on the upper petal. In our Georgia gardens, heat and humidity tolerance, vigor, and unique color all come together for an absolutely charming color display.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, the Anne Marie Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in woodland borders or other areas of the landscape that provide moist but well-drained soils rich in organic matter. We think she looks her best against a dark background. A fine addition to Azalea gardens, woodland gardens, pink theme gardens, and cottage gardens.
Spacing: We do not suggest planting this beauty as a hedge however, if used in a solid row space at 4 to 5 feet apart; 8-10 feet or more for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Anne Marie Native Azalea is easy to grow in moist but well-drained soil of average to high fertility and part shade to shade. It might grow in full sun in zones 5 and 6 but we think it should get some shade or filtered sun during the afternoon hours in zones 7 and 8. Once established plants are quite drought tolerant, requiring supplemental water only during prolonged periods of dry summer weather. Native azaleas are very low-maintenance, requiring little if any pruning. That said, occasionally we might prune a stray branch that is spoiling the natural form of the plant.
