Description
Azalea Elsie Lee is a compact, deciduous variety that delights with clusters of lightly scented, double pink flowers accented by lavender highlights, white throats, and a bold red blotch. Blooming from mid to late spring, this charming azalea adds a soft elegance to any garden.
Its glossy green foliage remains vibrant through summer before transforming into a striking yellow in fall. With an upright, spreading growth habit and slightly coarse texture, Elsie Lee stands out among finer-leaved plants.
