Azurro Rhododendron is an open multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a mounded form. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Azurro Rhododendron is bathed in stunning clusters of lightly-scented purple trumpet-shaped flowers with a red blotch at the ends of the branches in late spring. It has grayish green evergreen foliage. The narrow leaves remain grayish green throughout the winter.
Azurro Rhododendron will grow to be about 4 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more.
