More about this plant

An evergreen azalea that keeps a naturally rounded, clumping, upright form about 2 to 4 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide, clothed in tiny bright green leaves. Bell shaped flowers roughly 2 inches wide in pinkish orange, with rounded petals and pronounced stamens, open in spring and the shrub reblooms, giving repeat opportunities for showy flower. It wants rich, acid, well drained soil and partial sun of about five to six hours, and mature plants are drought tolerant, needing supplemental water only in extended dry spells. Space plants 3 to 5 feet apart and use it for foundation plantings, borders, hedges, mass plantings and wildlife gardens.
