Rhododendron Northern Lights
Deciduous Azalea
Northern Lights Azalea (Rhododendron ‘Northern Lights’) is a deciduous shrub with fragrant flowers in shades of pink. Because the original introduction consists of hybrid seedlings, flower color can vary from light to deep pink.
Its broad growth suits a generous position in a shrub border. The flowers provide scent as well as color, making it useful near a path or seating area where the display can be enjoyed.
A position with light shade suits this azalea.
