Evergreen azalea (Rhododendron indicum)
Evergreen azalea, also known as Tsutsusi azalea
Evergreen azalea is a bushy, sprawling Japanese native semi-evergreen shrub. It features magnificent cerise pink flowers with everlasting foliage. Because it has low tolerance to wet soils, drought, and immoderate fertilizer, this plant prefers well-drained soils in partial shade. The overall components of the plant are ideal for decoration, but it is toxic and should not be used for consumption.
