Key Features

Product Description

Azalea japonica ‘Thierry’ is a stunning evergreen shrub prized for its abundant, vivid pink flowers that burst into life in spring. With a naturally compact and rounded shape, growing to approximately 70–90cm in height and spread, it is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking reliable colour without high maintenance. Its glossy, dark green foliage provides attractive year-round interest, ensuring your garden looks vibrant even outside of its flowering season.

Perfect for borders, woodland-style planting, containers, and shaded corners, this azalea thrives in partial shade and acidic, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Its hardiness down to –15°C means it can withstand typical UK winters, while sheltered planting positions help protect flower buds from cold winds.
