Azalea Wakaebisu just may be the most perfect azalea out there. From its salmon pink flowers to evergreen foliage, bronze winter leaves, and repeat blooming, this one seems to have it all. The first round of bloom happens in May, bridging the gap from spring to summer beautifully, while the second flower flush happens later in the summer or early fall. The low-growing shape makes it an ideal choice for container plantings, foundation plantings, and mass plantings, creating an unforgettable sweep or accent of color. Provide Wakaebisu 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.
