Width (at Maturity):   3-4 ft. Soil Preference:  Peat Moss   Azalea 'Pride of Dorking' (Rhododendron 'Pride of Dorking') is a stunning evergreen shrub that produces an abundance of large, fragrant, pink blooms in late spring to early summer. The flowers are a rich, rosy-pink hue, and have ruffled edges that add an extra layer of interest to this already striking plant. 'Pride of Dorking' grows in a compact, upright form, typically reaching a height and width of 4-5 feet. Its deep green foliage provides an attractive backdrop for the flowers, and remains on the plant year-round, making it a great choice for use as a foundation planting, specimen plant, or in a mixed border. This Azalea prefers well-drained, acidic soil, and partial shade to filtered sun. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant, requiring little pruning beyond the occasional removal of dead or damaged wood. In addition to its stunning blooms, 'Pride of Dorking' is also prized for its year-round ornamental value, and its ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden. Its fragrance makes it particularly attractive to these beneficial insects. Overall, Azalea 'Pride of Dorking' is a must-have for any garden that values beauty, fragrance, and pollinator-friendly plants. Its stunning blooms and year-round ornamental value make it an excellent choice for gardeners of all skill levels.  

Select a partially shaded location with well-draining, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant the azalea slightly higher than the surrounding soil to ensure proper drainage. Backfill gently, firm the soil, and water thoroughly. Apply mulch to retain moisture and stabilize soil temperature, keeping mulch away from the base of the plant.

Azalea ‘Pride of Dorking’ is an evergreen azalea known for its large, vibrant rose-pink blooms and glossy green foliage. It thrives in partial shade and consistently moist, acidic soil. Avoid waterlogged conditions and protect from intense afternoon sun.

Fertilize after flowering with an azalea or acid-loving plant fertilizer. Prune lightly after blooming to maintain shape. This variety is valued for its strong growth habit and excellent performance in warm climates.
