Description

Perfect for creating drifts of color in the front of the border, this dwarf, ground covering azalea puts on a three-season show with it multi-hued pink flowers. Because of its compact size, we recommend growing it from a quick turn to a one or two gallon. Growers and retailers will appreciate how suitable this variety is for planting en masse.
