LATIN NAME:RHODODENDRON 'SILVER SWORD'
Silver Sword Azalea is a beautiful evergreen shrub prized for its striking variegated foliage and abundant spring blooms. Its distinctive green leaves, edged with creamy white margins, provide year-round interest and create an elegant backdrop for its vibrant pink flowers. This compact variety brings color, texture, and visual contrast to the landscape, making it an excellent choice for borders, foundation plantings, woodland gardens, and containers.
Silver Sword Azalea is especially valued for its unique foliage, which adds beauty to the landscape long after the flowering season has ended.
Amount of Sunlight: Prefers partial sun to partial shade.
Amount of Water: Requires regular watering and consistently moist soil while becoming established.
Soil Conditions: Prefers rich, well-drained, acidic soil.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 7–9
Silver Sword Azalea thrives in locations protected from harsh afternoon sunlight. Applying a layer of mulch around the base of the plant will help maintain moisture levels, regulate soil temperature, and protect the shallow root system. Light pruning immediately after flowering will help preserve the plant's natural shape and encourage healthy growth. Fertilizing with a formula designed for acid-loving plants during the growing season will promote vigorous foliage and abundant blooms.
