Azalea 'My Mary'

Richly Fragrant, Yellow Blooms in April-May The late George Beasley, well known Azalea breeder, crossed three different native azaleas, resulting in a stunning azalea with extraordinary fragrance, beauty and charm. Beasley could think of no other name as fitting for the new azalea as the name of his late wife - Mary. To honor her, he named this azalea 'My Mary.' 'My Mary' is a deciduous hybrid azalea that will be covered in large ball-shaped trusses of powerfully fragrant soft, yellow blossoms in mid to late-spring. The flowers absolutely glow and are enhanced by long protruding stamens. They are truly spectacular! The fragrance is a combination of sweetness and spice, providing a luscious fragrance after Viburnum carlesii has passed. 'My Mary' will reach about eight feet tall and wide with a mounding shape. It has thick, leathery elliptical-shaped foliage that is insect proof and highly mildew resistant. Plant at the edge of a woodland, near a patio or any place nearby so that its fragrance can be enjoyed as you pass. Ideal planted in a cluster of three, as an accent, in a foundation planting or at the corner of a house. Very easy to grow. Planting and Care For best results, plant in spring or fall. Grows best in a compost amended, well-drained soil. Prefers a bright spot with partial shade in the afternoon. More sun tolerant than evergreen azaleas. Keep well-watered until established. Fertilize with Cottonseed Meal and Kelp Meal in early spring and late autumn. Hardy in Zones 6- This Article Was Written By: Alan Summers
