Rhododendron Prino Phyllum Roseshell

Roseshell Azalea

Roseshell azalea (Rhododendron prinophyllum) is a deciduous shrub with fragrant pink spring flowers. The tubular blooms gather at the shoot tips, standing clearly against the emerging green leaves.

Its spreading framework suits open woodland and naturalized shrub borders. Foliage may develop bronze tones later in the season, while the flowers provide a seasonal attraction for pollinating insects.

Grow in partial shade with acidic, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil. Protect from intense afternoon sun, and avoid dense clay or stagnant moisture.
