Masses of small, funnel shaped, yellowish-pink flowers in late spring and early summer, and small, mid green leaves. This low growing, evergreen azalea makes a perfect container plant. The luxuriant flowers, each of which contains two rings of petals, one inside the other, are great for brightening a partly shady patio or courtyard garden. - Garden care: Avoid planting too deeply. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of leaf mould around the base of the plant each spring.
