Azalea × 'Gumpo Pink' (Satsuki Azalea 'Gumpo Pink') is a compact evergreen azalea valued for its ruffled, rose-pink flowers that open in late spring into early summer, when many azaleas are finishing up. Its naturally low, mounded habit makes it easy to place at the front of borders, along paths, in foundation beds, or in containers where you can enjoy the bloom up close.
Give your azalea bright light with protection from harsh afternoon sun. Full sun can work in cooler areas, but part shade or filtered sun is often ideal for steady growth and better foliage color. Shelter it from drying winter winds when possible, and keep it out of spots that bake reflected heat off pavement or walls.
For best results, plant in well-drained, organic-rich, acidic soil and mulch the root zone to keep roots cool and evenly moist. Water regularly during establishment and during dry spells; azaleas prefer consistent moisture but do not like soggy soil. A light application of an acid-loving fertilizer after flowering can help support next season's bud set.
Prune only as needed, and time pruning right after flowering so you do not remove next year's buds. Remove weak or crossing stems to improve airflow, and keep the plant gently rounded. With simple, consistent care, this dwarf azalea stays neat and colorful in small spaces for years.
