Description
An absolutely beautiful Robin Hill Hybrid evergreen Azalea, from mid to late spring ‘Gwenda’ displays abundant clusters of stunning, trumpet-shaped flowers with ruffled white petals that are flushed with soft shell pink and brown unusual tan-brown spots. Or, we could say that the flowers are soft pink flushed in white:-) Either way, these gorgeous flowers add a soft and elegant touch to the garden. The flowers are backed by fine dark green evergreen foliage on plants that mature to a height of around 3 feet feet with an equal width over time. An oldie-but-goodie introduced in 1969.
A group of evergreen azaleas developed by Robert Gartrell of New Jersey, Robin Hill Hybrids combine the large flowers of tender azalea hybrids with the cold-tolerance of hardy hybrids.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a rounded mound 3 to 4 feet tall and equally as wide, the Gwenda Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen in small garden spaces and containers or in groupings or in flowering shrub and partially shaded woodland borders. A hardy evergreen selection we also suggest for use in home foundation plantings. A fine addition to Asian-theme gardens, Azalea gardens, pink theme gardens, cottage gardens, and partially shaded woodland gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 2.5 to 3 feet apart for solid hedges; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants
