Rhododendron x 'Karen' | Karen Azalea

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rhododendron × ‘Karen’ is an evergreen azalea that blooms in spring, with clusters of pink to lavender-purple flowers that may show red color and spotting in the throat. The blossoms are lightly fragrant and sit above small, glossy leaves that stay neat through the growing season. As temperatures cool, the foliage often turns burgundy to red-purple, adding winter color.

‘Karen’ comes from the Gable Hybrid program, developed from hardy evergreen azalea species. It is grown for reliable spring flowering and attractive year-round foliage, fitting woodland edges, foundation beds, and mixed shrub borders where early bloom and winter leaf color are appreciated.
