| Design Ideas | A perfectly sized azalea for high profile foundation planting. Attention-getter at close range around outdoor living areas or to liven up dull shrub borders. Create irregular groups in sheltered locations around tree groves and in acidic soils in conjunction with conifers. Perfectly paired with dwarf conifers or in front of taller rhododendrons. Superior choice for both Chinese and Japanese inspired gardens. |

| Foliage Color | Green |
| Companion Plants | Gardenia (Gardenia); Japanese Maple (Acer); Fern (Polystichum); Daphne (Daphne); Fatsia (Fatsia) |
| Care Instructions | Thrives in humus-rich, acidic, moist, well-drained soils. Shelter from harsh sun exposures in hot summer areas. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; once established, maintain evenly moist soil. Keep roots cool with a layer of mulch. Feed with an acid fertilizer after bloom. |
| History | This azalea belongs to the dwarf kurume group which originated in Japan. They are hybrid offspring of crosses between two natives of Kyushu Island, the southernmost of the Japanese string. Parent species are R. obtusum kuand R. kiusianum. The latter is a low growing form that lends the dwarf stature to the Kurume hybrids. |
| Lore | The Kurume azaleas are preferred for the art of bonsai due to their smaller stature and diminutive leaves. |
