After the long, dreary Winter months have passed and early Spring has arrived, if you find yourself craving color in your garden but nothing you have planted blooms until weeks or months later, what you need is some Lavender Formosa Azalea plants to at least be prepared for next year. Blooming from early Spring to midseason, these tall, upright plants featuring gorgeous lavender pink flowers with a dark pink/purple blotch on one side are large and lovely enough to catch your eye as early in the season as possible. Tolerant of full to partial sun, requiring only regular watering and incredibly hardy growing up to 8 feet tall naturally but capable of being trimmed to approximately 4 feet tall if desired, due to its size this shrub is best used in a perimeter or as an accent to color various areas of your yard.
Questions & Answers

-
How much area between plants around house to become hedge
When planting Lavender Formosa Azaleas (Rhododendron indicum 'Formosa') to form a hedge, space them 3 to 4 feet apart. This closer spacing encourages the plants to grow together, creating a dense, continuous hedge. Over time, the shrubs will fill in, providing a lush, vibrant display of purple flowers while offering privacy and structure to your landscape.
-
Deer resistant, yes or no?
Yes, the Lavender Formosa Azalea (Rhododendron indicum 'Formosa') is considered deer resistant. While no plant is completely deer-proof, azaleas like Lavender Formosa are less attractive to deer due to their leathery leaves. However, in areas with heavy deer pressure, even resistant plants may be grazed. Planting Lavender Formosa in a protected area or using deer repellents can help keep these shrubs safe from browsing.
Nice and green!
