Blaauws Pink Azalea

Spotswood Greenery

Salmon-pink flowers with a second bloom nested inside the first, giving each one a doubled look without the heaviness of a true double. Rhododendron 'Blaauws Pink' grows 2 to 4 feet tall and wide in full sun to part sun, hardy from Zone 6 through Zone 9.

Bloom comes in mid-spring, and the salmon tone sits between pink and coral rather than reading as either.

The small glossy leaves are evergreen, holding through winter, and the habit is dense and rounded without pruning.

Acidic soil is necessary, roughly pH 4.5 to 6.0, with good drainage and steady moisture. Alkaline ground turns the foliage yellow. Mulch the shallow roots.

Received two ornamental flowering almonds. They were bigger than expected beautiful lush green and I was totally impressed. I wanted to get a heads up with planting them this August and get them growing so I could enjoy them in the spring. Thank you so much. Absolutely stunning.

I've received four roses from Spotswood Greenery and each won has been a big, healthy, beautiful plant. Shipping is super quick and prices are reasonable. I'm super satisfied and will be ordering many more!

Exceptional Roses

EXCEPTIONAL ROSES!

Recently, I received a #3 pot Wollerton Old Hall Rose, a #3 Alnwick Rose, and a #2 pot Sweet Mademoiselle rose from Spotswood Greenery. I could not be more pleased and grateful. All plants are in perfect condition. Each is supported by incredibly healthy roots, several Charles Atlas-like stems, and beautiful foliage. Packaging was very secure. Clearly done with care! Shipping was quite prompt. Now, pricing! I've grown roses for 40 of my 67 years. In that time, it's easy for me to say that Spotswood has exceeded every other source without question. I found three roses in stock I had wanted! The quality is champion! The prices are very good, excellent when one buys at the free shipping level! Worth every penny! Thank you, every one, on the Spotswood Greenery Team!

I just received my hypericum red fame and was amazed how big it was and just as pretty as my established one I have had a couple years. So happy because the last one I ordered online from another nursery came as a little stub compared to this! I will definitely use Spotswood Greenery for now on!

Quick shipping

Bought a David Austin rose; it arrived quickly however it had some damage upon arrival. Ended up pruning and defoliating a good bit to get rid of the broken cane and pest damage, but I expect it to be a beautiful bush down the road.

Lovely plants

Lovely plants, get with your shipper.

Comfortable ordering process

The information and accuracy of the description of the ordered plants was great. The ability to search for specific plants was nice. Could search for terms not pre-defined and still came up with relevant specimens.

The online ordering process went smoothly.

I ordered ~8 David Austin roses from here. They were equal in quality to the ones at my local nurseries (better than some), and $10 cheaper. Established roots, full of buds that have become gorgeous blooms. Will absolutely order from Spotswood again!

Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in spring or fall in moist, well-drained, acidic soil (pH 4.5–6.0) richly amended with organic matter. Space 4–5 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch 2–3 inches deep to conserve moisture and maintain soil acidity.

Care Tips

Plant in part shade, with morning sun or the dappled shade of tall trees.
Acidic soil is a must, ideally pH 4.5 to 6.0. Test before planting. In neutral or alkaline soil the leaves yellow between the veins and the plant slowly declines.
Plant in well-drained soil rich in organic matter, such as composted pine bark or leaf mold.
Set the top of the root ball slightly above the surrounding soil, never deeper.
Water deeply through the first two summers and in dry spells after that.
Mulch 2 to 3 inches deep with pine bark or shredded leaves, keeping it back from the stems.
Feed lightly after bloom with a fertilizer for acid-loving plants, if at all.
Prune right after flowering, and finish by early July. Later pruning removes next year's flower buds.
Plants take shaping well. Tip back long shoots after bloom for a denser shrub.
Leaves often turn bronze or reddish in winter, and some older leaves drop. This is normal.
A spot sheltered from winter wind helps in cold zones.
