Rhododendron prinophyllum 'Marie Hoffman' | Marie Hoffman Azalea

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron prinophyllum ‘Marie Hoffman’ is a fragrant deciduous azalea with airy branching and fresh blue-green leaves that later turn red-bronze in fall. In May, sweet clove-spiced perfume accompanies trusses of large, clear pink, trumpet-shaped flowers, often carried in loose bouquets along the stems, opening as the shrub leafs out.

‘Marie Hoffman’ draws early pollinators during cool spring weather. Its spring flowers and seasonal foliage color fit naturally in woodland borders and mixed shrub plantings, and the scented trusses make it especially rewarding near paths, patios, and garden seating.
