Description
Azalea Choptank River Sweet is a breathtaking hybrid of the native azalea (Azalea atlanticum), featuring delicate shell pink trumpet-shaped blooms with coral tips. These fragrant flowers emerge in mid-spring from coral-pink buds, creating a stunning seasonal display. Its narrow, green deciduous foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season, though it does not develop significant fall color.
With an upright, multi-stemmed growth habit and slightly coarse texture, this azalea adds visual interest to any garden. It thrives in highly acidic, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. For optimal growth, incorporate plenty of peat moss when planting.
