| Botanical Name | Rhododendron indicum 'Formosa' |
| Description | One of the most popular and vigorous Southern Indica azaleas for the Willis and Houston metro area. Known for its massive lavender-purple blooms and sun-tolerance, it makes a bold statement in the landscape. To thrive in local clay, plant in raised beds with acidic soil amendments and pine bark to ensure proper drainage and the low pH these plants require. |
| Exposure | Partial Shade (Prefers morning sun with filtered afternoon shade) |
| Height x Width | 6-8 ft. Tall x 6-8 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; keep soil consistently moist. Heavy mulching is recommended to protect the shallow roots from intense Texas summer heat. |
| Zones | 8 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring immediately after the flowers fade. |
| Pruning | Prune after the spring bloom cycle to maintain shape. Avoid pruning in late summer, as this will remove the next year's flower buds. |
| Deer Resistance | Low |
