Description
Azalea Purple Spider (Rhododendron x 'Koromo Shikibu') is a stunning and unique evergreen azalea that will be the highlight of your garden. In mid-spring, this shrub bursts into bloom with extraordinary spider-like lavender flowers, each with strap-like petals that are 1.5 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Unlike most azaleas, the flowers are subtly fragrant, making them even more captivating. Occasionally, you'll even see a lovely out-of-season bloom in the fall, adding extra charm to your landscape.
The deep green evergreen foliage of Azalea Purple Spider turns a vibrant red in the fall, creating a beautiful seasonal transition. This shrub grows upright with a mounded shape and can reach up to 4 feet tall and 5 feet wide at maturity. Best planted in part to mostly shaded areas, it thrives in moist, rich, acidic, and well-draining soil. With a slow growth rate, this multi-stemmed shrub makes a perfect addition to your garden for those seeking something both unique and striking.
Each plant comes in a #2 (2 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.
