Rhododendron x 'Gumpo Pink'
syn. Azalea x 'Gumpo Pink'
Guaranteed to arrive healthy. details →
Large ruffled pink flowers open later than most azaleas, extending the season by several weeks after the spring bloomers have finished. Rhododendron 'Gumpo Pink' grows 18 to 24 inches tall and 2 to 3 feet wide in full sun to part sun, hardy from Zone 6 through Zone 8.
This is a Satsuki azalea, a group bred in Japan for late bloom and large flowers on small plants. The flowers are outsized relative to the shrub.
The habit is low and dense with small glossy evergreen leaves, holding through winter.
The compact size suits a container, a rock garden, or the front edge of a border. Acidic soil is necessary, roughly pH 4.5 to 6.0, with good drainage and steady moisture. Mulch the shallow roots.
Height 18"- 24" Spread 2'- 3'
USDA Hardiness Zones 6-8
Lowest Temperatures -10°F to 0°F
Full sun to part sun- at least 4 hours direct sun per day
