Does this need full sun?
Autumn Chiffon Azalea (Rhododendron 'Robled') is part of the Encore® Azalea series, which are known for their ability to bloom multiple times throughout the year.
Sunlight Requirements:
-
Partial Sun to Partial Shade:
- The Autumn Chiffon Azalea does best in partial sun to partial shade. It requires at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day to produce the best blooms. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal, especially in warmer climates.
-
Full Sun Consideration:
- While it can tolerate full sun, particularly in cooler climates, in hotter regions, too much direct afternoon sunlight can stress the plant and cause the leaves to scorch. If planting in full sun, ensure the plant is well-watered and consider some protection from the intense afternoon sun.
-
Dappled Shade:
- A location with dappled sunlight throughout the day is also suitable, allowing enough light for blooming while protecting the plant from the harshest rays.
Summary:
The Autumn Chiffon Azalea thrives in partial sun to partial shade, requiring 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. It can tolerate full sun in cooler climates but benefits from protection from intense afternoon sun in hotter regions.
