A hardy and compact evergreen shrub, Azalea 'Splendens' delivers a stunning seasonal display of soft to vibrant pink blooms throughout late winter and spring. Its lush green foliage creates a dense mound, making it an excellent choice for mass planting, borders, or container displays.

Minimal maintenance is needed beyond watering in dry periods and a light prune after flowering. This variety is ideal for adding colour and structure to shaded gardens or woodland-style landscapes.
