The "Autumn Angel" azalea, scientifically known as Rhododendron ‘Robleg’, is a beautiful evergreen shrub prized for its stunning foliage and delicate flowers. Here's some information about the Autumn Angel azalea:

  1. Appearance: Autumn Angel azalea is a compact, dense shrub that typically grows 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 meters) tall and wide. It features small, oval-shaped leaves that emerge with bronze tones in spring, transition to green in summer, and take on burgundy hues in fall and winter. The foliage provides year-round interest and adds texture to garden landscapes.

  2. Flowers: In spring, Autumn Angel azalea produces clusters of small, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom profusely along the stems. The flowers are white with delicate pink or lavender accents, creating a soft and romantic display against the backdrop of the foliage. While not as showy as some other azalea varieties, the flowers add a touch of elegance to the plant.

  3. Sunlight: Autumn Angel azalea thrives in partial shade to full shade. While it can tolerate some morning sun, it generally prefers protection from intense afternoon sunlight, especially in hotter climates. Too much direct sunlight can cause the foliage to scorch or fade.

  4. Soil: This azalea prefers well-draining, acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. It thrives in soil with a pH between 4.5 and 6.0. Amending the soil with compost, peat moss, or pine bark can help improve soil structure and acidity, providing an ideal growing environment for the plant.

  5. Watering: Autumn Angel azalea has moderate water needs and prefers consistently moist soil. Water deeply and thoroughly, especially during hot, dry weather, to keep the root zone evenly moist. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot and other moisture-related issues.

  6. Pruning: Pruning requirements for Autumn Angel azalea are minimal. You can remove dead or damaged branches in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Light pruning may also be done after flowering to maintain the plant's shape and promote airflow.

  7. Uses: Autumn Angel azalea is commonly used as a low-maintenance, decorative shrub in landscape beds, borders, and woodland gardens. It works well as a specimen plant, mass planting, or hedge, providing year-round color and texture. Additionally, the delicate flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden.

Overall, Autumn Angel azalea is a versatile and attractive shrub that adds beauty and elegance to garden landscapes. With its stunning foliage, delicate flowers, and easy care requirements, it's a popular choice for gardeners looking to create a vibrant and inviting outdoor space.
