Description
Coastal Azalea is a delightfully fragrant, semi-dwarf shrub that produces clusters of white and soft pink trumpet-shaped flowers in mid to late spring. The blooms emerge from coral-pink buds before the blue-green leaves, creating a striking early-season display. Its sweet honeysuckle-like scent makes it a perfect choice for planting along walkways or near patios, where its fragrance can be fully appreciated.
This deciduous azalea features small, elliptic leaves that maintain a soft blue-green hue throughout the growing season. Though it does not develop significant fall color, its graceful form and elegant flowers make it a standout in shaded gardens. Ideal for woodland settings, the Coastal azalea thrives in well-drained, acidic soil with consistent moisture.
Each plant comes in a #3 (3 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
