Azalea Exbury 'Cannon's Double'

Common Name: Cannons Double Exbury Azalea

zalea Exbury ‘Cannon’s Double’ is a striking deciduous azalea admired for its lush, fully double blooms and rich spring color. Flowering in mid to late spring, the large, ruffled blossoms blend warm shades of peach, soft apricot, pink, and creamy yellow, creating a layered, almost rose-like effect that stands out in the landscape.
