Azalea, Candy Lights

A new introduction from the University of Minnesota to replace the hard-to-propagate Pink Lights. Candy Lights Azalea is smothered in stunning clusters of fragrant pink trumpet-shaped flowers with a buttery yellow blotch at the ends of the branches in mid spring, which emerge from distinctive rose flower buds before the leaves. It has green foliage throughout the season. It's part of the 'Northern Lights' series of azaleas that are flower bud hardy to -35F.
