Deciduous Azalea Exbury 'Northern Lights' 3 Gallon

Rhododendron 'Northern Lights'
First of the Northern Lights series, this extremely cold hardy deciduous azalea bred at the University of Minnesota is an abundant spring bloomer covered in fragrant, soft pink buds that open to blushed white blossoms in May. Powdery mildew resistant foliage starts glossy green turning a deep maroon for fall interest. Disease resistant and dependable in the home landscape as an accent or in groupings. Azaleas prefer protected spots with some shade plus well-drained, amended, acidic soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1? of water once a week the first year. Prune in spring immediately after flowering to control size, and remove stray shoots or damaged limbs anytime. Fertilize in early spring, mid-summer and fall with an acidic fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2? to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
