Rhododendron periclymenoides 'Rosy Pink'

Azalea - Pinxterbloom

‘Rosy Pink’ Pinxter Azalea is a selection of Rhododendron periclymenoides (formerly nudiflorum). The fragrant early spring flowers are bright pink and borne on upright twiggy stems of deciduous foliage. Rhododendron periclymenoides ‘Rosy Pink’ needs good drainage, but can be found in moist woodlands and margins of swamps. ‘Pinxter’ evidently means ‘Pentacost’ in Dutch (who knew?), which refers to the early spring bloom time.
