Golden Eagle Azalea (Rhododendron) – 3 Gallon Pot

A cold hardy Exbury hybrid and winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society, ‘Golden Eagle’ Azalea is an outstanding deciduous rhododendron featuring abundant clusters of up to 12 red buds that open to fragrant golden-orange flowers with red accents. A great selection to extend the azalea bloom season as its bloom occurs from mid to late spring to early summer. We think this one one named for its golden color and reflexed, pointed petals that resemble an eagles beak. With the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall the summer green leaves turn to attractive orange and red shades. An absolutely stunning color display of color and sensory appeal in the garden!
