Azalea, Mt Saint Helens

This beautiful hybrid is open and airy with buds that are coral red as they open and show a yellow blotch at the ends of the branches in mid spring. An open multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a mounded form, its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer foliage. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It has a light scent to it. It's tough and hardy down to -25F.
