Azalea 'Rosy Lights'

Common Name: Deciduous Azalea, Rosy Lights Azalea

Azalea ‘Rosy Lights’ is a cold-hardy deciduous azalea from the renowned Northern Lights series, prized for its bright rose-pink flowers, fragrance, and exceptional performance in northern climates. Blooming in mid to late spring, the showy flower trusses appear just as the foliage expands, creating a vibrant seasonal display. Fall foliage turns burgundy to red, adding late-season interest. The shrub forms a dense, rounded habit with good branching and strong landscape presence. As a deciduous azalea, it tolerates more sun than evergreen types and excels in cold regions.
