Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Conversation Piece Azalea will surely be the conversation piece talked about in your landscape. The blooms are a crazy mix of white with streaks of pink, solid white or pink, half white and half pink, and everything between. You may also get a short bloom period in the fall. This plant loves acidic soil and some afternoon shade to thrive. Conversation Piece Azalea can be grown in a pot to bring into a sheltered location for harsh, northern winters. It can be grown as a specimen, hedge or wooded border plant.
3.5 inch flowers with wavy margins are a purple-pink with lighter margins and a prominent purple-red blotch. It is truly a show stopper.
