    Long narrow leaves are covered in spring with unusual petals 1/2 inch wide and 1 1/2 inches long. The strap-like flowers are light purple-pink with dark tips. May be semi-deciduous in colder winters. When in bloom draws a lot of attention.

    Beautiful and unique spidery lavender flowers absolutely cover this semi-dwarf evergreen shrub in mid-spring. This rare Azalea's compact growth habit, durability, and rare flower form make this a definite conversation piece. This Azalea lines the eastern border of the Ruby M. Mize Azalea Gardens at Stephen F Austin's Mast Arboretum.Azaleas need a humus rich, acid soil and adequate moisture during establishment as well as a good organic mulch. The mulch will keep the root zone cooler and at a more stable temperature, helps to conserve moisture, controls competition from weeds, and as it breaks down its nutrients are slowly released back into the soil, feeding your plants. Properly mulched Azaleas often need little additional nutrients once they are well established. Never use lime around Azaleas.

    This spreader is distinguished by its light green, hairy leaves which take on a red tinge in winter. Fragrant flowers are lavender with rose-violet flecks and dark tips. Strap-like petals, measuring ½" in width and 1½" in length, provide a nice contrast to the broader lobed flowers of most azaleas.
