Azalea (Deciduous) ‘Juanita’

‘Juanita’ is a lovely variety with large flowers – rich pink with a deep golden-yellow blotch May-June. Deciduous leaves are soft green, oval to elliptic, and turn golden orange and yellow in autumn. Young plants grow upright and quite fast making some 20-30 cm per year. When they reach about 1 meter tall they slow down and become bushier and wider so adult plants of Juanita azalea are almost as wide as tall.
