Hi,

Most weeks I carry out work in a lovely country house garden here in the UK.
Among all the wonderful plants I tend to in this garden there are a few that really stand out ....and one of them is this Azalea .
I think the colour is amazing and apart from that here we are getting closer and closer to October and it's in flower for the *second* time this year.
The first flowering was late Spring.
Does anyone know which Azalea this might be please ?.
I have included an earplug in one of the photos to give some sense of scale.
Thank you.

Autumn Amethyst, Autumn Lilac, Autumn Sangria, Bloom-A-Thon Lavender and Purple Spectacular have similar colors and rebloom. There may also be others that are not yet available here. See if they will give you several cuttings to propagate. Propagation info: http://rhodyman.net/rhodynho.p...

I had a dwarf Rhododendron called 'Blue Baron' that looked a lot like that.

Thank you for those suggestions....What I need to do is propagate the plant, at least then I'd be sure to get something exactly the same.
So I need to explore propagation now I think..!!
