Soft-pink buds open to twinkling bright-white, fragrant stars, each flower with a attractive soft-yellow splotch.

A beautiful shrub for the landscape with its rounded spreading habit to 4-5 feet; especially effective at the edge of a woodland garden. S-PSh/M

Certainly has to rank as one of the hardiest of all the deciduous azaleas. The buds are hardy to an incredible -55°F!! Oh yes, the flowers...they open a dusky white with a single or double band of yellow running up the center petal.

Don't complain about living in too harsh a climate because here is an azalea that will make you the envy of your neighbors. And, it can be grown practically anywhere! This is one of a series of azaleas developed by the University of Minnesota for hardiness. Not only is the plant hardy to -50 °F, but the bud is hardy to -55 °F. Need more!? It's fragrant too. Of course, the flower is white with a slender band of gold running up the center petal. FRAGRANT
