Cultivation Guide
Azalea ‘Purple Glitters’ thrives in part shade or sheltered positions with moist, well-draining, acidic soil. It prefers slightly acidic soil (pH 5-6.5) and needs to be mulched well to retain moisture. Pruning should be minimal, with light pruning after flowering in spring to maintain shape and remove old flowers.
