Description
Azalea Kiusianum Best Pink (Rhododendron kiusianum, Kyushu Azalea) is a beautiful dwarf evergreen shrub that adds elegance and charm to your garden. Covered in clusters of lightly-scented, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of rose, salmon, and white, the Azalea Kiusianum Best Pink delights in mid-spring before the leaves emerge. The dark green evergreen foliage provides year-round appeal, with small glossy oval leaves that stay vibrant throughout the winter months.
This compact, rounded shrub grows to a mature height and width of 4 feet and makes a fantastic addition along borders or as a focal point in your landscape. The Azalea Kiusianum Best Pink thrives in moist, acidic, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter, requiring regular watering during establishment. It is ideal for full sun to partial shade and is tolerant of some urban pollution, though it must be kept away from hot, dry locations. For optimal performance, prune after flowering to maintain its shape and avoid removing buds for the next season’s blooms.
