Azalea 'Hino White' Dwarf

Hino White azalea

Azalea ‘Hino White’ (Dwarf) is a classic evergreen Kurume azalea prized for its pure white flowers and compact, low-growing habit. Blooming in early to mid spring, the small, abundant blossoms blanket the plant, creating a clean, luminous display that pairs beautifully with darker evergreens and spring bulbs.

The foliage is small, dark green, and evergreen, forming a dense, mounded shrub that stays neat year-round. Its dwarf size makes it especially useful for borders and mass plantings.
