More about this plant
A Robin Hill hybrid azalea that stays small, reaching about 2 to 3 feet tall and wide in ten years with a compact, mounding evergreen habit. Late spring brings large blooms roughly 3 inches across with distinctly wavy ruffled petals, white blushed with light pink so the overall effect is a soft light coral pink. It is hardy in zones 6 to 8 and wants the usual azalea conditions of cool, partially shaded sites and acid, organic, well drained soil kept evenly moist. Its small scale and soft colour suit borders, foundation plantings, containers and shaded woodland edges.
