Description
There's no other Azalea like Hilda Niblett! Named PLANT OF THE YEAR by the American Rhododendron Society, Hilda Niblett Azalea produces some of the most exciting, eye-catching flowers of any azalea. Large flowers in various shades and overtones of light pink to peachy pink and dark peach are produced over a long bloom period from early spring to early summer on low mounds maybe a foot high and 3 feet wide. Lustrous, deep green foliage year round. One of a legacy series called the Robinhill Azaleas, it has stood the test of time beautifully.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a low mound 18 to 24 inches tall and 3 to 4 feet wide at maturity, Hilda Niblett Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen in small garden spaces and in groupings, mass plantings or as a border along paths and walkways in larger landscape and woodland borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to Asian-theme gardens, Azalea gardens, cottage gardens, and partially shaded woodland gardens.
Spacing: 2 to 2.5 feet apart for solid hedges; 5 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden North of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Azalea variety is not reliably winder hardy, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
