Rounded deciduous shrubs often as wide as high. The distinctive obovate foliage is arranged in whorls of five on the ends of the branches. The almost flat-faced flowers (early to mid-spring) are pink to rose or white, with a slight fragrance and reddish spots. The Royal Azalea is one of the most beautiful of species and an excellent choice for the woodland or partly shaded garden. Quite hardy and easy with excellent fall foliage color. Native to Korea and NE Manchuria where it is a common species in woodlands.
