Description
A beautiful and showy Piedmont Azalea selection made by noted Azalea grower Vivian Abney, ‘Candy Striper’ produces abundant clusters of fragrant pink flowers with each petal having a light pink stripe down the center. This one starts blooming at a very young age, and like its R. canescens cousins is heat and humidity tolerant. Plant this one near windows or close to patios, decks and other outdoor living spaces where the beautiful flowers and sweet fragrance can be enjoyed.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 10 to 12 feet tall and equally as wide, the Candy Striper Native Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in woodland borders or other areas of the landscape that provide dappled shade and moist but well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Can be grown as a shrub or lower branches removed to form a highly attractive small tree. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, pink theme gardens, Azalea gardens, woodland gardens, native plant gardens, and cottage gardens.
Spacing: We do not suggest planting this beauty as a hedge. Space plants 14 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Candy Striper Native Azalea is very easy to grow in moist but well-drained, humus rich soil and dappled shade or morning sun with afternoon shade. Once established it is 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 growing way outside the natural form of the plant, but not so much that it would spoil the natural form of this beautiful shrub.
