is commonly called the 'Royal Azalea'. This deciduous azalea flowers in
April for two to three weeks. One can find forms of it in either white or
soft lavender. Native to Korea, parts of China and Russia, this woodland
plant has grown for many years in Ed's garden. Make sure to not plant this
in a windy area as the petals are quite thin. Good fall color adds seasonal
interest. We have found these plants to be rather drought tolerant when
established (if in a shaded location).
