Azalea Bloom
Girard's Rose Azalea
Come April, masses of intense rose-pink flowers will enrobe this small evergreen shrub, creating a stunning show. Designated a Plant of Merit by the Missouri Botanical Gardens for its exemplary flower display and ease of care, this azalea is drought tolerant once established.

Aerating the pile is a crucial step to speed up decomposition by ensuring adequate oxygen reaches the microbes, which in turn, helps to create a rich, nutrient-packed soil amendment.
