Landscape & Garden Uses Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, the Garden Rainbow Azalea is ideal for use as an accent specimen in smaller garden spaces and containers or in groupings, or as a natural hedge in partially shaded woodland, landscape, and flowering shrub borders. Garden Rainbow is a fine addition to Azalea and Rhododendron Gardens, woodland gardens, cottage gardens, and butterfly and beneficial pollinator gardens. Spacing: 3 feet apart for a solid hedge or grouping; 7 feet or more apart for space between plants Growing Preferences Garden Rainbow Azalea is very easy to grow in moist but well-drained soil of average to high fertility. Garden Rainbow performs well in full sun in the northern USDA Zones where it grows but will appreciate some shade or filtered sun in the afternoon in the deep South. Some suggest full sun tolerance throughout the zones where it is listed hardy, however, we always like to play it safe so as mentioned a break from direct afternoon sun in hotter climates. Once established plants are quite drought tolerant, requiring supplemental water only during prolonged periods of dry summer weather. Native azaleas are very low-maintenance, requiring little if any pruning. That said, occasionally we might prune a stray branch that is spoiling the natural form of the plant.
