Azalea Salmon Spray

Salmon Spray Azalea

Azalea ‘Salmon Spray’ is a showy evergreen azalea prized for its warm salmon-pink flowers highlighted with subtle coral and peach tones. Blooming in mid spring, the blossoms are borne freely across the plant, creating a bright yet soft color display that blends well with both pastels and deeper hues.

The shrub develops a dense, rounded to slightly spreading habit with dark green, glossy evergreen foliage, providing year-round structure and reliability in the landscape.
