The Poukhanense Azalea (Rhododendron yedoense var. poukhanense) is a hardy, deciduous shrub valued for its abundant display of funnel-shaped, lavender-pink to rose-purple flowers that appear in early spring, often before the foliage fully emerges. It typically grows 3–6 feet tall and wide, forming a dense, rounded habit suitable for borders, foundation plantings, or woodland gardens. Thriving in partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil, it benefits from protection from hot afternoon sun. This azalea is low-maintenance, cold-tolerant, and provides reliable early-season color along with attractive fall foliage in shades of orange to red.
