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.

I was so happy to see this new and unusual azalea offered so I decided to order one. It arrived in 8 days and although the top of the paper covering the dirt was dry, the bottom touching the dirt was still damp. I set it on my covered back porch and watered thoroughly. It perked up immediately and was planted 2 days later. The azalea was very nice and healthy and was at least 3 feet tall. It looks so nice against my back fence in my shrub border. Can’t wait to watch it grow and bloom ! Many thanks to Wilson Bros, for providing such a great ordering experience and such great products !.———————————————-Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
