Deciduous azalea "klondyke"

This category of azalea is certainly unique, losing foliage in winter but not before going through a splendid series of fall color changes over the course of a month to six weeks- oranges, yellows, maroons, and reds. Pussy willow-sized flower buds in winter on an eventually shoulder height shrub that can be pruned into a smaller size. Unpruned plants take on japanese maple-like branch infrastructure. Obvious honeysuckle-like stamens swooping from apricot-colored huge flower clusters in May. Full sun to part shade in good soil.

Gibraltar Azalea is the most insanely beautiful one of all beacuse it is a brilliant orange, which is a very rare color in northeastern landscapes, our favorite one.
