Azalea Pink Cascade

Cascade Pink Azalea

Azalea ‘Pink Cascade’ is an elegant evergreen azalea admired for its soft pink flowers and gently spreading, cascading habit. Blooming in mid spring, the single blooms create a flowing, graceful effect, especially when planted on slopes, walls, or raised beds.

The foliage is dark green, glossy, and evergreen, forming a low, spreading mound that provides year-round structure. ‘Pink Cascade’ is valued for its softer form compared to more upright azaleas, making it an excellent accent or massing plant.
