A spring-blooming azalea with vibrant lavender-pink flowers that cover the plant in early to mid-spring. Grows 3-5 ft tall with a broad, spreading form. Prefers partial to full sun and acidic, well-drained soil. Ideal for borders or hedges in shaded areas. An evergreen that will keep its dark green foliage and bloom from spring to midseason. Tolerates heat and is great for adding color to shade gardens.
Growth Habit: Shrub, 6-8ft high by 4-6ft spread
Native Origin: Southeast North America
Hardiness Zone: 6-10
Environment Needs: Full Sun, Part Sun, 4–6 hours of direct sun; morning sun with afternoon dappled light is ideal, especially in hotter or reflective sites.
Growth Rate: rapid
Maintenance: Prefers acidic, well-drained, evenly moist soil. Amend heavy or alkaline soils with organic matter; consider a soil acidifier if needed. Maintain consistent moisture during establishment; water deeply during high heat or drought, especially before bloom cycles. If shaping is desired, prune after the spring. In early spring, apply a slow-release, acid-formulating fertilizer for azaleas and rhododendrons; a light post-bloom top-up on fertilizer can sometimes support reblooming.
