Azalea 'Ever After™ Pink' (Rhododendron × RLH2-3P8-2 PP31116 'Ever After Pink') brings waves of rich pink blooms from spring through fall in a compact, mounded shrub that fits easily into small gardens and containers. With a mature size around 24-36 inches tall and about 36-48 inches wide, you can tuck it along foundations, use it as a low border, or plant several for a bright, season-long mass of color.
Give your azalea a site with full sun to part shade; more sun usually means more flowers, while a bit of afternoon shade helps in hotter areas. Plant in moist, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter, and keep the root zone evenly moist during the first growing season. Mulch to cool roots and hold moisture, but keep mulch a few inches away from the stems.
Feed in spring with an azalea/rhododendron fertilizer, then water well. Prune only lightly and do it soon after the main spring bloom so you do not remove developing buds for later flushes. In winter, protect roots with mulch and shelter from drying winds. Deer resistance can vary by site, but this selection is often considered more deer-resistant than many shrubs.
