Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The masses of fragrant, large (to 3") deep rosy-pink flowers with a darker rose splotch produced by this very hardy azalea are sure to brighten any northern spring. This cultivar is a fine selection from seedling azaleas in the Northern Lights series, bred for superior hardiness with buds that can withstand temperatures of -30 to -45 degrees F. Larger than some azaleas this will become a beautiful rounded 6-8' shrub with a spreading habit. Stunning again in fall when the foliage turns shades of yellow, red and purple. S-PSh/M
