Super showy variegated azalea. Bollywood® azalea may just be our most colorful shrub. Bright neon red-pink flowers engulf this compact semi-evergreen azalea in spring. Vivid, glossy silver and dark green variegated foliage supplies the color the rest of the year. Developed by plantsman Mike Farrow of Maryland.
