Azalea Persil is a stunning deciduous azalea, featuring large, perfumed white flowers with a prominent deep yellow flare in the throat. These beautiful blooms form in a compact head, creating a striking visual display in your garden during November. Reaching a height of 1.5 meters, Azalea Persil is an ideal choice for adding elegance and fragrance to your outdoor space.

Azalea Mollis deciduous plants, like the Persil, are known for their toughness and hardiness, thriving in both full sun and partial shade. They make perfect companion plants for rhododendrons, as they flourish in acidic soil and flower well in part shade or dappled shade areas. These azaleas are highly drought-resistant and also provide a spectacular display of autumn tones before going dormant for the winter. Many of their flowers are fragrant, enhancing the sensory experience in your garden.

Explore our extensive collection of deciduous Mollis azaleas this season and bring the enchanting beauty and resilience of Azalea Persil to your garden. Whether you’re looking to shop online or visit our nursery to select your plants in person, our azaleas are sure to impress with their stunning blooms and robust nature.

When you purchase a rhododendron, you will receive a well-established four-year-old plant grown in a 6L pot, with a strong root system and often developing flower buds, ready to settle in and thrive in your garden.

To help you plan for the plant’s eventual scale, the mature heights listed in the Product Information are estimated 10-year sizes from the time of planting. For more detail, please refer to our Size Guide in the FAQs.

All our rhododendrons are grown in pots, so you can plant them anytime, though autumn is ideal for encouraging strong root growth. Find the right spot based on your chosen rhodo, improve the soil generously with organic matter, gently tease out the roots, and plant shallow at or just below the original soil level. Finally, mulch well and water thoroughly to help your plant establish.

Rhododendrons are rewarding and easy to grow once their basics are right — most issues come down to watering, drainage, or planting depth. Follow our planting guide for a great start, prune as needed, mulch annually to keep roots cool, and feed lightly in spring for a spectacular bloom later in the year.

Keep an eye out for common issues like powdery mildew or thrip, and address them promptly. We have plenty of information on caring for your rhododendron, and if you can’t find what you need, we’re always happy to talk all things Rhodos. Find a full overview in our General Care Guide (link below).
