Description
Â
‘Gumpo Pink’ is a true dwarf, dense and mounding Satsuki Hybrid evergreen azalea that produces large, ruffled bright coral-pink flowers in late spring through early summer. It’s small size lends well for those tight spots in the landscape and under low sitting windows or decks.Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide, Gumpo Pink Azalea is a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, low hedges or an accent in partially shaded landscape borders, woodland gardens, and home foundation plantings. Use under low windows and along low sitting decks. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches serve very well for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.

Plants arrived perfectly packaged and in great shape. Beautiful foliage. It’s late in the season so they had already bloomed but one plant had a few blooms and I could tell the color was as expected. They are planted and thriving. The shipping was quick. Great value.————————————————————–Thanks for the kind words and awesome review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
