A classic Kurume azalea, prized for its abundant clusters of small, soft pink, semi-double flowers that smother the plant each spring. Its naturally dense, compact, evergreen habit makes it one of the most versatile azaleas for borders, low hedging, or container growing. Hardy and reliable, it's a lovely choice for adding structure and colour to a shaded Canberra garden bed.
Position: Part shade to filtered light; protect from strong afternoon sun and winter winds
Soil: Acidic, well-draining, enriched with organic matter and kept mulched
Watering: Regular moisture, particularly through dry summer spells
Habit: Small, dense, and rounded — great for low hedges or pots
Flowering: Profuse soft pink blooms in spring
