Common Name: Cascade Azalea
Azalea ‘Cascade’ is a graceful evergreen azalea valued for its soft pink flowers and naturally spreading, cascading habit. Blooming in mid spring, the single blooms create a flowing effect that’s especially attractive on slopes, raised beds, and along walls. Foliage is dark green, glossy, and evergreen, forming a low, wide mound that provides year-round structure. ‘Cascade’ is appreciated for its relaxed form compared to more upright azaleas, making it ideal for informal plantings and massing.
