Blomstrende skønhed

Botanisk tilhører azalea slægten Rhododendron. Løvfældende azalea tilhører subgenus Pentanthera, og evergreen azalea tilhører subgenus Tsutsusi. I hundreder af år er azalea blevet hybridiseret, hvilket betyder at de er blevet krydset mellem arter eller hybrider, der producerer over 10.000 forskellige azalea planter.

Udvikling af Encore Azalea

Encore azalea blev udviklet af Robert E. (Buddy) Lee i 1980'erne. Han krydsede traditionelle azaleaer med Rhododendron olhamii, en sjælden taiwanske azalea. Han ønskede en azalea, der blomstrede flere gange i hele vækstsæsonen. Buddy Lee har udviklet 23 sorter af Encore azaleas, hardy i zoner 7 til 10.

Hvad adskiller Encore Azaleas?

Encore azalea er den eneste azalea, der blomstrer tre gange om året, i modsætning til andre azaleaer, som kun blomstrer om foråret. Encore azalea begynder sin blomstrende cyklus om foråret, ligesom andre azaleaer; det fortsætter derefter med at blomstre midt om sommeren gennem det sene efterår (indtil den første frost).

Solbelysning

De fleste azalea foretrækker et skyggefuldt sted. Encore azalea kan plantes i fuld sol til delvis skygge (skygge om eftermiddagen er foretrukket). Hvis Encore azalea ikke modtager nok sollys, vil du se en reduktion i blomstringscyklusserne.

Jordbetingelser

Encore azalea har de samme krav til jordforhold som traditionelle azaleaer gør. Azalea kræver godt drænet, sur jord (pH 5,5-6). Plante senge til både traditionelle azaleaer og encore azalea bør være mulket for at opretholde fugtniveauet i løbet af sommervarmen.

Beskæring

Beskæringskravene til både Encore azalea og traditionelle azalea er de samme. De bør kun beskæres for at opretholde deres form; Dette skal ske lige efter deres forårsbloemningscyklus.

Dead-overskrift

Encore azaleas behøver ikke at være dødhovedet som traditionelle azaleaer gør.

Hvornår skal du plante?

Plantetider er de samme for både traditionelle azaleaer og Encore azaleaer. Den bedste tid til at plante azalea er i efteråret, at plantning på dette tidspunkt giver rodsystemet tid til at blive etableret. De kan også plantes i foråret og sommermånederne, men efteråret er foretrukket.
