{"product_id":"azalea-8in-electic-lights-double-pink-88032","title":"Azalea, 8in, Electic Lights, Double Pink","description":"The plant you are looking for is the 'Electric Lights Double Pink' Azalea (Rhododendron 'UMNAZ 493'), which is a deciduous shrub, not a true rhododendron in the evergreen sense. It is a cold-hardy hybrid known for its fragrant, double-petaled pink flowers. \r\nFlowers: Smothered in clusters of lightly-scented, double pink trumpet-shaped flowers, often with an orange blotch, in early to mid-spring, emerging from rose-coloured buds before the leaves.\r\nFoliage: Deciduous, with lime green leaves in summer that turn an attractive burgundy color in the fall, offering multi-season interest.\r\nSize: Forms an upright, spreading, and somewhat leggy shrub, growing to be about 6–7 feet tall and 4–5 feet wide at maturity.\r\nHardiness: Exceptionally cold hardy, with flower buds able to withstand temperatures as low as -30°F (approx. -34°C), thriving in USDA Zones 4–7. \r\nLight: Performs best in full sun to partial shade. Protection from intense afternoon sun, especially in hot, dry locations, is recommended.\r\nSoil: Requires well-drained, highly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.2) that is rich in organic matter. It is sensitive to alkaline soil conditions.\r\nPruning: Pruning should only be done immediately after flowering to avoid removing the next season's flower buds, which form on \"old wood\". \r\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need any more photos or additional information on this product, send us a message using the chat button on our website with the product name, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis plant has a representative product photo and the item you will receive may not be exactly as shown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Bylands Nurseries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49707101683952,"sku":"74918","price":44.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/3617\/4760\/files\/74918-1.jpg?v=1780589995","url":"https:\/\/floralacres.ca\/products\/azalea-8in-electic-lights-double-pink-88032","provider":"Floral Acres Greenhouse \u0026 Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
