Description
A rare and beautiful Southern Indica Azalea with a color like no other, ‘Lilacina’ is a heavy bloomer producing beautiful, 3 inch funnel-shaped flowers with soft lilac to white petals and a splotch of fuchsia freckles. As with other Southern Indicas, Lilacina is both sun and heat tolerant, grows more rapidly, and reaches upwards if not more than 6 feet tall and wide. With such gorgeous blooms and larger evergreen leaves than other azaleas, she’s perfect for use as a specimen but can also be planted in groupings or as a natural hedge. Breathtaking in bloom!Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a large mound 6 to 8 feet tall and wide over time, Lilacina Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a natural hedge in landscape borders. The plants perform exceptionally well under tall pine trees. Also ideal for use as accents, corner plants or as espalier against large open walls in home foundation plantings. Lower branches can also be removed to form an attractive small evergreen tree for use as a focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to Azalea gardens, Asian gardens, Zen gardens, butterfly gardens and cottage gardens. Â
Suggested Spacing:Â 4 to 5 feet apart for solid hedges;Â 10 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Southern Indica Azaleas are very easy to grow. They prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter and full sun to part shade. That said, we think they perform and look their best with a little shade or filtered sunlight during the hottest part of summer afternoons. Established plants have good drought tolerance.Â
