Azalea Exbury Lollipop

Lollipop Exbury Azalea

Azalea Exbury ‘Lollipop’ is a cheerful deciduous azalea prized for its bright, candy-pink blooms and lively spring display. Flowering in mid to late spring, the large, single flowers open in clear pink tones, often highlighted by a lighter throat or subtle warm accents, giving the plant a fresh, eye-catching presence in the landscape.

The shrub develops an upright, spreading habit with medium green deciduous foliage that appears as flowering finishes, making it well suited for woodland gardens and mixed shrub borders.
