Azalea Mollis
Overview
Azalea mollis, commonly known as the Rhododendron, is a deciduous shrub with a striking display of vibrant flowers varying from yellow to pink. It reaches an average of 4-6 feet in height and width, ideal for eye-catching borders or specimen planting. Prefers partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil. Blooms profusely in spring, adding a splash of color before the foliage emerges. Hardy and relatively low-maintenance, it's an excellent choice for temperate landscapes.
