Azalea Kim's Double Pink

Kim's Double Pink Azalea

Azalea ‘Kim’s Double Pink’ is a refined evergreen azalea prized for its fully double, rose-like pink flowers and compact, tidy habit. Blooming in mid spring, the lush double blooms open soft to medium pink, creating a full, layered floral display that adds texture and elegance rarely seen in evergreen azaleas.
