Azalea 'Copper Frills' is a spectacular deciduous azalea renowned for its masses of rich copper-orange flowers with beautifully frilled edges.

How to establish your Azalea Copper Frills?
How to establish your Azalea Copper Frills?
Position
Plant in full sun to partial shade. Morning sun with protection from the hottest afternoon sun will encourage the best flowering and help blooms last longer.
Soil
Grow in acidic, fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil enriched with compost or leaf mould. Avoid alkaline or poorly drained sites.
Watering
Water regularly during establishment and throughout prolonged dry periods. Mulching around the base will help conserve moisture and maintain cool roots.
Feeding
Apply a specialist fertiliser for azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons after flowering to encourage healthy new growth and abundant blooms the following spring.
Spacing
Allow 1.5–2m between plants to give them room to develop their naturally rounded form and maintain good air circulation.

Azalea 'Copper Frills' requires very little pruning. If shaping is required, lightly prune immediately after flowering to avoid removing next season's flower buds.
Apply an organic mulch each spring to suppress weeds, retain soil moisture and improve soil structure. Remove any dead or damaged branches during winter dormancy if necessary.
