Details

If you are an azalea lover and adore shades of white, red, and pink, there’s an azalea for you. Azalea Conversation Piece features large blooms in an array of shades from white to deep fuchsia, pale pink, and light cream, and flowers dependably in the spring with a lighter flush in the late summer/early fall. And don’t overlook those dark green leaves—they remain on the shrub long after the blooms have faded, giving life and structure to the winter garden. The dwarf size lends itself well to small gardens, container plantings, low borders, and mass plantings in the woodland garden. Simply give Conversation Piece what it needs with acidic, well-drained soil, late winter/early spring fertilizing, and regular watering, and be prepared to fall in love with this unusual and charming azalea.
