Rhododendron 'Golden Eagle'
Azalea 'Golden Eagle' has yellow-orange flowers with an orange blotch, in clusters of 10 to 12 in early Summer. Also has good Autumn foliage colour
Flowering
From Late Winter TO Mid Summer
Various gorgeous flowers from late winter. Some varieties bloom later through the year.
Propagation by cuttings
From Late Summer TO Mid Autumn
Semi hard wood cuttings are taken from the current years growth from late summer to mid autumn the bottom of the cuttings is hard and soft on the top. With a sharp knife take a cutting of about 14 cms, remove lowest leaves, dip end into rooting hormone, and place round the edge of a pot filled with a suitable compost, water well, they must remain moist till rooted, place under glass but in semi shade.
Planting
From Late Summer TO Late Autumn
Best planted towards the very end of summer and autumn. If the soil is not acidic dig in plenty composted leaves or bark. Ericaceous compost is acidic. They do best in sheltered, semi-shaded positions but many species with small scaly leaves will thrive in full sun provided they do not dry out. Larger leaved varieties require more shade and shelter from wind.
