Bright bubblegum pink 2" flowers contrast nicely with dark bronze green foliage of this dainty Azalea cultivar. Chinzan develops into a low 2' high mound of evergreen foliage that spreads to about 3' wide. Excellent as an accent, a low evergreen border, and as is considered to be a choice bonsai specimen.
