• Comes in a nursery pot to protect roots during shipping
• Requires acidic, well-draining soil with a pH between 4.5 and 6.0

• Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 5-8

Growing Information

To ensure healthy growth, keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained. The Koromo Shikibu Azalea prefers partial shade environments and should be slowly introduced to direct sunlight to avoid stress. Avoid planting directly in the ground until the plant has matured sufficiently, as it benefits from initial growth in its nursery pot. This approach helps prevent root disturbance and promotes robust development.
