Description
Azalea Cornell Pink is a breathtaking deciduous variety that welcomes early spring with clusters of bright pink, trumpet-shaped flowers before its foliage emerges. This upright-growing azalea is one of the hardiest selections available, making it a resilient and striking addition to cool-climate gardens.
As the season progresses, its narrow green leaves provide a lush summer backdrop before turning a warm yellow in fall. With a fine-textured, multi-stemmed growth habit, Cornell Pink brings a refined elegance to any landscape.
