Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Though the official color is wine-red there certainly is shades of purple in it too. Small, funnel-shaped, hose-in-hose flowers cover this plant each spring and seem to become more abundant year after year. Equally small leaves turn a rich mahogany color in winter.

A long cultivated and beautiful old Japanese hybrid with bits of kiusianum and kaempferi and who knows what else in its genes. Vivid magenta flowers in mid-spring on a dense-growing evergreen azalea that in time develops into a wider than high specimen. Easily grown, tough and hardy.
