Azalea Geisha lilac

Geisha Azalea

Azalea ‘Geisha Lilac’ is a compact evergreen azalea valued for its soft lilac-pink flowers and refined spring display. Blooming in mid spring, the single blooms open pale lavender to lilac-pink, often with subtle darker markings, creating a gentle pastel effect well suited to shaded gardens and foundations.

The shrub forms a dense, low, mounded habit with small, dark green evergreen leaves, providing tidy year-round structure and excellent performance in smaller spaces.
