Rhododendron kiusianum
Kyushu Azalea
Kyushu Azalea (Rhododendron kiusianum) forms a low, densely branched shrub with small leaves and closely grouped flowers. Purple shades are typical, although individual plants may bloom pink, red, or occasionally white.
The growth can spread close to the ground, creating a compact flowering layer. Leaf retention varies with the plant and conditions, ranging from evergreen through partly deciduous to deciduous.
