Watchet Dwarf Pink Azalea
Azalea Robin Hill hybrid ‘Watchet’
USDA Plant Hardiness Zones: 6a-9b Find Your Zone
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Azalea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy growing it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Special Attributes
A reliable rebloomer, the ‘Watchet’ Azalea is a Robin Hill Hybrid evergreen that produces an abundance of large, ruffled pink flowers that cover the low mounding shrub in late spring through early summer and again in fall. Its small size lends well for smaller garden spaces and where a low growing flowering shrub is needed in home foundation plantings.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to about 18″ feet tall and 3 feet wide, Watchet Azalea is a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, low hedges or an accent in partially shaded landscape borders, woodland gardens, and home foundation plantings. Use under low windows and along low sitting decks. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches serve very well for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.
Spacing: 1.5′ for solid hedges; 4’+ for space between plants

This plant arrived, as usual from Wilson Bros, in excellent condition. I love the pink of this azalea and I am delighted in its smaller size. It has been planted in a new border by my low front porch which is shaded by a deep overhang. I am happy with this selection.—————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!
