Azalea schlippenbachii (Royal Azalea)

deciduous azalea

• Beautiful pink bloom
• Blooms late April to mid-May
• Fragrant
• Great fall foliage
• Great planted in groups
• Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds

This selection lives up to its name with outstanding trusses of rose-pink flowers that burst onto the scene in late April and regally strut their stuff through mid-May. You'll love the outstanding scent these flowers have to offer and you'll notice immediately its unusual longer and wider deep green foliage that turns an outstanding orange-red in the fall. A well-drained, moist spot in partial shade will allow this hard to find plant to thrive. Use a small group for a blooming display that will make your grounds look fit for royalty!
