Rhododendron Melford Lemon

Ilam Melford Hybrid Azalea

Dense clusters of ruffled, bright yellow, funnel-shaped flowers envelop this deciduous azalea in late spring, before the foliage has fully emerged. Each bloom bears an apricot blotch on its upper petal. This rounded medium-sized shrub has hairy dark green leaves that color nicely in fall.
