This is one of my nursery rescues from a couple years ago. It sat in a pot for years and declined to the point where it was given up on and thrown away. I brought it home, cut back the top half and let it grow. It still has a ways to go but I think this plant is worth the effort. Very cold hardy azalea, flowers have a light fragrance. It really likes acidic soil, my other azaleas don't seem to mind so much.

Yeah the flowers are pretty small but can look large if the entire cluster is open. I'm only getting a handful of flowers right now, hopefully I can get this Azalea going so it will flower better.

What a beauty! How large is the flower, please? And the bush?

The flowers are pretty small but they do look nice when all of them are open. It's a small shrub, 3-4 feet tall and wide.

That's a really pretty one, how large is each flower? I have one that was out a few weeks ago, similar colour and flower just less than an inch across?
