Rhododendron Tall Single Indica Hybrids are a selection of plants that are primarily derived from R. mucronatum X R. phoeniceu which are naturally found from Japan to China. 

They grow in well drained moist, sandy to light clay loam that is lime free with a pH 5.5 to 6.5 and prefer protected semi shaded to full sun position and are drought and frost tender. 

These azaleas are grown for their flowers and are widely used in gardens as a specimen or planted in shrub borders for screening.  They are also grown in Japanese gardens for texture and colour or trimmed to form a hedge. They are suitable for coastal and inland regions establishing in 3 to 5 years and are long lived. Azaleas may also be grown in tubs or planter boxes and are used in courtyards or roof gardens as a specimen. ID 400
