Western Azalea

Western azalea is a deciduous shrub that usually reaches 2 ft – 5 ft tall in the garden

The sight and smell of the Western azalea is a delight to behold.  The delicate white bloom is tinged with pink and orange, and can be detected by the the sweet smell, even before you see them.  This beautiful, deciduous shrub with elliptical leaves is more garden friendly than other rhododendrons.

Sometimes a bit fussy, and slow growing, Western azalea is definitely worth the extra attention. Prefers acidic soil, so add organic matter such as peat moss or compost.  Its a wonderful specimen plant and also does well in containers.
