Plant Overview
Azalea Poukahense Comp
Rhododendron yedoense var. poukhanense 'Compacta'
Azalea 'Poukahense Comp. Trade 3Gl.' is a broadleaf evergreen flowering shrub. An unusually cold-hardy azalea species with lavender-purple blooms in spring. Low-growing and very adaptable — tough, reliable, and beautiful in difficult landscape situations. 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.
