Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lovely bright pink, semi double, flowers bloom in late spring against a backdrop of green leaves. This azalea is one of the most popular of the deciduous, pink flowering varieties.
One of Knap Hill's best selections. Semi-double, rose pink flowers in tight trusses look like clusters of small pom poms each spring. Twiggy deciduous shrub. Grow in evenly moist, well drained acidic soils in full to filtered sun. Hardy to at least -25 °F.
Semidouble, rose pink flowers in tight, ball shaped trusses that are most delightful. A little different and so attractive 'Homebush' is one of the most popular azaleas. When customers see it in flower, they want it immediately. It brings conversation to the garden!
