Description

A hard-to-find beauty with buds and flowers like no other that bloom for a period of up to 6 weeks during spring, the Rosebud Azalea produces a profusion of gorgeous, deep pink rosebud-shape flower buds that open to double flowers with ruffled petals that look like a rose. This one is sure to be a conversation piece in your garden for years to come! Attractive deep green evergreen foliage on a semi-dwarf shrub that grows maybe 3 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide over time.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 3 feet tall and 4 to 5 wide, the Rosebud Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen in smaller garden spaces or in groupings, mass plantings, or as a low hedge in landscape and flowering shrub borders and home foundation plantings. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches serve very well for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements. A fine addition to pink theme gardens, azalea/rhododendron gardens, cut flower gardens, woodland gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 3 to 3.5 feet apart for solid hedges; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Evergreen Azaleas are easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot. They prefer a moist but well-drained and acidic soil that is rich in organic matter and part sun. Morning sun with shade or filtered sun in the afternoon is ideal. Evening sun is fine. Moderate drought tolerance when established.
