Deciduous azaleas are probably the most striking flowering shrubs. Their colours are vivid and bright, and often have the shades that not many rhododendrons can offer. They need full sun.
Golden Nectarine® is a deciduous azalea from H.Hachmann Nursery in Barmstedt, Germany, bred by Bernd Wickhorst and introduced in 2016. It is a cross between Annabella and Sunte Nectarine. Flowers are large, rich orange like hot lava and open from about mid May. There can be up to 17 flowers in one truss opening on the background of deep mahogany red leaves which soon turn medium green. They are deciduous, broadly ovate, and turn orange and red in autumn. Golden Nectarine® forms compact and dense, upright shrubs slightly over one meter in height and a little less in when 10 years old.
Deciduous azaleas are ericaceous plants, loving insulate position with always moist soil. During temporary summer dry spells in certain areas their leaves may suffer and be prone to fungus infections. When spots appear on the leaves or they lose colour and start to curl use a suitable fungicide immediately. 1-2 sprays should help the plant remain beautiful and healthy.
They require no pruning. Should you need to shape or rejuvenate your plant do so as early in the spring as possible so that it can still make new twigs with flower buds for the next season. It re-sprouts reliably. It has many surface roots which spread to sides in search for nutrients and water. The best soil mixture consists of peat, lime-free compost and leaf-mould. Fully hardy to min. -34 °C (USDA zone 4).
