Azalea (Azalea)
Color Name: Poukhanense Compacta
Dense and spreading, this azalea explodes into bloom early in the season with pink flowers that seem to last far longer than many other selections. Its small size makes this plant perfect for small landscape spaces. Long-blooming. Easily grouped in the landscape for a massive color show.
Growing Tips: Shallow, fibrous roots benefit from a layer of mulch.
Soil: Cool, acidic soils with abundant organic matter and good drainage are required.
Pruning: Rarely needed; Prune immediately after flowering in late spring by cutting branches to just above a set of leaves.
Uses: Woodland gardens; pollinator gardens; specimen; foundation plantings; mixed borders.
