Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This azalea has very small orange pink flowers in April. The plant will get 12”x18”. The flowers are relatively large for such a small plant.
Small, glossy tear-drop shaped leaves form a tight, compact mound rarely over two feet wide. In late spring into early summer small reddish-pink flowers open. The Japanese translation of 'Kazan' is Deer Mountain.
Gardeners and bonsai artists alike seek this favorite for its splendid foliage and flowers. A slow grower, 'Kazan' is spiked with heavy stems which carry heart shaped, waxen leaves. In May 'Kazan' blooms showy 1-2" small lobed flowers in hues of salmon-pink with red-violet throats. A young bloomer, these flowers can appear on a plant as small as 1". Also known in the U.S. as 'Rukizon', although its correct name is 'Kazan'.
