| Design Ideas | Mass this cultivar of azalea together in groupings, or mix with azaleas of harmonizing cultivars. Plant larger rhododendrons and camellias in back. Use this azalea in high light areas, as it tolerates sun. Good for plantings near the house or where foot traffic is high, as these often sunny areas seldom can support azaleas. |
