Plant Type-Shrub

Mature Size-Height- 18 - 24 Ft Width- 3 -4 Ft

Flower Color - Pink Shades

Description- You'll appreciate 'Bixby' for its easy going, low spreading habit, not reaching more than 2' tall at maturity, but you'll love 'Bixby' for its profusion of deep red clusters of buds in mid May that combust into magnificent scarlet blooms that will absolutely blow away the flower power on any other dwarf Azalea. This hardy poukhanense selection was first developed in central Massachusetts, so you know it will more than tolerate our harsh and unpredictable New England climate and still erupt into bloom dependably despite winter's cold and wind! It's a compact, slow-growing dwarf that is perfect for morning sun, afternoon shade locations and for smaller landscapes where the tight space will find it hard to contain its ferocious bloom!
