Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Glowing and fragrant, ruffled, mandarin-orange blossoms with tints of yellow and apricot are borne on bare-branches and are extremely eye-catching! It would be hard to beat the spring blooms of this upright 4-5' rounded azalea. Another fabulous attribute is its hardiness; to -30°F! Northern gardeners do not need to miss out on this sensation! Another knockout azalea from the University of Minnesota! S-PSh/M
Mounding growth habit and intense orange blooms in May-June make 'Mandrin Lights' a must have deciduous azalea. Hardy to zone 3, this shrub can be used in the colder climates of Oregon and Washington.
