Keepsake® Azaleas

Rhododendron simsii

Keepsake Azalea is a dwarf evergreen azalea shrub bred to be an indoor houseplant.  The dense glossy dark green foliage is coated with semi-double flowers that last for several weeks each bloom.   If in proper conditions the Keepsake can experience blooms year-round. Grows best with bright indirect sun with afternoon shade or dabbled light and acidic rich, well-drained soils. 

The color selections offered are red or pink.  The color will be random unless specified in the Cart Note at checkout. 

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance.  Moderate water needs, properly drained soils is a must to avoid root rot.  Mulch helps to keep roots from drying out. Keep away from drip lines of the walnut family. Acidify soils as needed (PH range of 5 to 6.5) Southern climates with excessive humidity are more prone to powdery mildew, twig blights, and rust.  Azaleas are prone to many diseases and pest problems, but the proper environment and care should negate most of them.

LANDSCAPE USES:   Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Wildlife Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Foundational Plantings, Hedges, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Azalea , Japanese Maple, Camellia
