Description

Often grown for their compact habit and gorgeous blooms, the lovely Wakaebisu Azalea evergreen shrub blooms in mid to late Spring and looks its best when planted in a container, around a foundation, as part of a hedge or border or placed all together in mass. Reaching a maximum size of 2-3 feet tall and 3-6 feet wide when grown in full to partial sun and moist, well-drained soil, they perform their best in an environment with warm Summers and generally cool Winters, requiring at least some Winter cold for optimal growth. Boasting a numerous amount of funnel-shaped salmon-pink blooms with a dark, spotted blotch on it, the beautiful, unscented flowers completely cover the plant when in full bloom. From the small, dark-green and glossy leaves to the incomparably lovely blooms, add the Wakaebisu Azalea shrub to your yard or garden for a color and style you won’t find anywhere else.

Shipping & Returns

Shipping:

Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.

When to Ship:

We can ship out plants at anytime of the year pruned or not pruned, cold or not cold. Each plant’s durabilty is different so we recommend having them shipped in their designated season but we will still ship your plant to you earlier if you choose so.

Returns:

Because plants are perishable they cannot be returned without prior permission. We work hard to ensure all plants arrive healthy, but on rare occasions issues with the plant health upon delivery do arise.

Every single shipped plant is healthy upon departing our facility but if a plant is received in poor health contact us immediately so that we can assess the problem and work on saving the plant. We will first need a photo of the plant to start a claim. If we determine your plant cannot be recovered we will send you a replacement immediately. If notified of the plants health within 4 days we will send a replacement 100% free of charge.

If you determine the plant not to be healthy 4 days after delivery you can contact us and we will issue a 50% store credit.

30 days after delivery we cannot be held responsible for the current health of the plant.

Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question

  • how do you maintain them and how often do you have to trim them?

    To maintain Wakaebisu Azaleas:

    1. Light & Water: Plant them in partial shade with well-draining, acidic soil. Water regularly but avoid overwatering.
    2. Fertilizing: Feed with azalea-specific fertilizer in spring and early summer.
    3. Mulching: Add mulch to retain moisture and protect roots.
    4. Pruning: Trim them lightly after blooming in late spring to maintain shape and encourage growth. Major pruning isn't needed unless shaping is required. Avoid cutting too late in the season, as it can remove next year’s blooms.

    Trim annually or as needed to maintain the desired size and shape.

  • Sun and water requirement? Bloom time ? Can I put in as indoor plant? If outdoor where to place outdoor?

    Partial shade to full sun. Prefers morning sun with afternoon shade.

    Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained. Avoid waterlogging.

    bloom time: Early to mid-spring.

    Indoor Plant? Not ideal; needs outdoor conditions for best growth.

     Plant in dappled shade, under taller trees, or in a location with morning sun and afternoon shade.

  • Which azaleas are most salt resistant? We live on the coastal beach of St. George Island and generally azaleas do really well here.

    The most salt-resistant azaleas for coastal areas like St. George Island include:

    1. Southern Indica Azaleas (e.g., George L. Tabor, Formosa) – Large, hardy, and moderately salt-tolerant.
    2. Encore Azaleas – More compact and reblooming, with good adaptability.
    3. Native Azaleas (Rhododendron canescens, R. austrinum) – More tolerant of coastal conditions.

    While azaleas generally do well in your area, they still benefit from wind protection and well-draining, acidic soil to thrive near salt exposure.
