I posted this one in May, in full flower in a plastic training pot. It was getting quite leggy so post-flowering I pruned it back hard and repotted into this cascade pot. It's responded really well as you can see, so I'm hopeful of lots of colour next year. It's a very strong bright pink by the way.
I call this my Elvis phrag, because of the pompadour petal and long sideburns. These will continue to grow an inch a day until they get about 12” long.
Thanks, and yes they do smell great, just wish they lasted more than a day or two.
Yeah those 2 inch thorns definitely make it a bit prickly to work on.
Yes, mine is also Autumn Sunburst. Somehow, mine has petaloid flowers. Together with KiwiPlantGuy, we will be trying to develop some autumn blooming azaleas in New Zealand.
