Description
The 'White Prince' Japanese Azalea, also known as Rhododendron hybrid, is a small evergreen bush forming a rounded bush with original, fringed flowers, white-pink in colour with a cherry-coloured throat. It will enhance your borders and pots.
A result of a mutation of the 'Rose Queen' Azalea, the 'White Prince' Azalea forms a small dense bush with a rounded habit, reaching a height of 70 cm and a spread at maturity. Its evergreen leaves are ovate, elongated, glossy, and tough, with a dark green colour. During the months of April and May, this small bush is covered with elegant and fringed flowers in 5 cm (2 in) wide trumpets. They are coloured white-pink with a cherry-colored throat. Sometimes its flowers are uniformly pink. This Azalea will have a stunning effect in shaded gardens.
Hardy up to -12°C, the 'White Prince' Japanese Azalea requires a bright exposure without direct sunlight. Plant it ideally in partial shade, in a location protected from cold and dry winds. With slow growth, this small bush prefers moist, humus-bearing, well-drained soil with an acidic tendency.
The 'White Prince' Azalea dresses up heather beds all year round and enlivens gardens with its numerous colourful flowers in spring. Plant it on a slope, in a shady rockery, or at the edge of a border alongside Pieris, Heather, Kalmias, Andromedas, Chinese Azaleas, and Japanese Maple.
Divided into 2 horticultural groups, the genus Rhododendron includes, on one hand, Azaleas, Chinese and JapaneseAzaleas, with small evergreen or deciduous leaves, with 5 stamens per flower, and on the other hand, Rhododendrons, with ample, evergreen, glossy foliage and flowers with more than 10 stamens. Although highly debatable from a botanical point of view, this classification is still widely used by horticulture professionals.

Planting and care
Plant the 'White Prince' Japanese Azalea in a partially shaded or shaded position, protected from cold and drying winds, in a cool, humus-bearing and light soil with an acidic tendency. Like all plants that prefer acidic soil, it does not tolerate limestone or heavy soil that becomes waterlogged in winter. Dig a hole three times larger than the pot. Soak the root ball in non-limestone water and plant the bush at its base level, in a mixture of 1/4 each of turf, leaf compost, gravel or pumice, and loam. Water thoroughly and keep the soil moist in summer. Azaleas and Rhododendrons have a shallow root system. As a result, they are susceptible to long periods of drought. Therefore, it is recommended to enrich the soil with humus and to water abundantly during dry periods. Additionally, this root system is not very strong, so it is essential to lighten heavy soil with draining materials (gravel, pumice, clay pellets) when planting. Apply a mulch of shredded pine bark around the base of the bush every spring to maintain soil moisture and an acidic pH. Maintenance consists of removing faded flowers in summer and clearing dead branches. Azaleas and Rhododendrons can sometimes be attacked by weevils that eat the edges of leaves and rootlets, as well as the famous 'rhododendron borer' which rarely causes significant damage. However, you can treat them with carbofuran. Yellowing of leaves (chlorosis) in Rhododendrons indicates poor iron assimilation in the soil and can lead to the premature death of the plant. While limestone is often the cause, poorly drained soil or a deeply planted root ball can also explain the phenomenon.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
