Azalea Frosty

Frosty Azalea

Azalea ‘Frosty’ is a classic evergreen azalea appreciated for its crisp white flowers and dependable spring performance. Blooming in mid spring, the single blooms open pure white with a soft green to yellow-green throat, creating a clean, cool-toned look that brightens shaded gardens.

The shrub develops a dense, rounded habit with dark green, glossy evergreen foliage, providing neat year-round structure and making it a reliable choice for foundations and mass plantings.
