Rhododendron 'Tradition'(Kurume Hybrid)

Evergreen Azalea

Tradition is an evergreen azalea with a compact, mounded outline and glossy dark green leaves. Pink flowers have a layered, hose-in-hose appearance and make a conspicuous spring display.

Grow in partial shade or shade, keeping the soil moist but well drained. It suits borders, woodland gardens and mass plantings. Bloom dates depend on climate; the New Jersey grower lists May.
