Plant Overview

Azalea Amethyst

Rhododendron 'Conlec' Encore Amethyst

Azalea 'Amethyst' is a broadleaf evergreen flowering shrub. Rich amethyst-purple blooms appear prolifically in spring above dense, glossy evergreen foliage. A bold, vivid color that creates a striking presence in shaded borders and foundation plantings. Performs best in partial shade with moist, well-drained, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Mulching helps retain moisture and protect roots. A cornerstone of foundation plantings, woodland gardens, and shaded borders where bold seasonal color and evergreen foliage are desired.
