Description
A cold hardy Exbury hybrid and winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society, ‘Golden Eagle’ Azalea is an outstanding deciduous rhododendron featuring abundant clusters of up to 12 red buds that open to fragrant golden-orange flowers with red accents. A great selection to extend the azalea bloom season as its bloom occurs from mid to late spring to early summer. We think this one one named for its golden color and reflexed, pointed petals that resemble an eagles beak. With the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall the summer green leaves turn to attractive orange and red shades. An absolutely stunning color display of color and sensory appeal in the garden!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, Golden Eagle 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. A fine selection for fragrance gardens, Azalea gardens, woodland gardens, red theme gardens, and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: We do not suggest planting this beauty as a hedge. That said, space 3 to 4 feet apart for a solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Golden Eagle Azalea is very easy to grow in moist but well-drained soil of average to high fertility and part shade. Morning sun with afternoon shade is perfect. Evening sun is fine. It may tolerate more sun in cooler northern climates within its range. Once established plants are moderately 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.
