Description / Rhododendron Sweet Reward™ Pink Azalea
A member of the Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs, Sweet Reward™ Pink Azalea is a standout deciduous shrub, reaching 3 to 6 feet in height and width, based on growing conditions. This resilient native shrub dazzles in spring with clusters of large, fluffy, globe-shaped bright pink blooms. These flowers are not only captivating but also emit a rich, spicy-floral fragrance that fills the garden, drawing in bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds for a lively, pollinator-friendly display.
This Rhododendron hybrid, known commonly as azalea, has an upright growth habit that suits both specimen and mass plantings in beds, borders, and foundation plantings. Sweet Reward Pink thrives in shade gardens, adding vibrant color and fragrance.
Low-maintenance and easy to grow, Sweet Reward Pink azalea flourishes best in sunny to partly sunny spots with moist, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter and an acidic soil pH of about 5.0 to 5.5. Adaptable and robust, it also performs well in clay soil, making it a versatile choice for various garden conditions.
Developed from North American native species by Dr. Jim Ballington of NCSU, Sweet Reward Pink brings a touch of natural elegance to gardens with minimal effort.
