Description
Azalea, Poukhanense Compacta is a low-growing, cold-hardy variety that bursts into a profusion of lavender-pink blooms in mid-spring. Its semi-evergreen foliage offers continued appeal through much of the year, making it a great addition to smaller gardens, foundation plantings, or woodland borders. When provided with acidic, well-draining soil and consistent moisture, it can also adapt to container plantings.
