Description
‘Pride of Mobile’ is a magnificent heat and sun tolerant Southern Indica Hybrid Azalea that produces a profusion of large, 3 to 4 inch diameter vibrant rose-pink flowers with elongated red stamens protruding outward from the center as well as a large red speckled blotch! Truly spectacular in groupings or as a natural hedge in sunny to partially shaded landscape and woodland borders.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and 8 to 10 feet wide, the Pride of Mobile Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or mass plantings, or to form a natural hedge in landscape and woodland borders. It is also useful to plant against large open walls in home foundation plantings. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches serve very well for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements. A fine addition to Azalea gardens, pink theme gardens, and cottage gardens
Suggested Spacing: 5 feet apart for solid hedges; 12 feet apart for space between plants

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7b, where this Azalea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy growing it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Southern Indica Azaleas are very easy to grow in a moist but well-drained acidic soil of average or better fertility and full sun to part shade. When established, plants have good drought tolerance. No pruning is necessary however plants can be pruned for shaping purposes or to control size.
