One of the smallest azalea varieties around, Azalea Chinzan delivers a whopping dose of flower power in a tiny package. Growing to just 1–2’ with a slightly wider spread of 2–3’, Chinzan features vivid pink 2–3” flowers that nearly cover the shrub. This is a slightly later spring bloomer, typically flowering sometime in May. When the flowers have completed their second flush of bloom later in the season, the evergreen foliage takes over, creating beautiful form and color in the winter garden. Its dainty size makes it ideal for container plantings, borders, and mass plantings in Asian, cottage, and woodland gardens. Tend to its needs of acidic, well-drained soil, late winter/early spring fertilizing, and regular watering and you’ll love the show that Chinzan puts on.
