Azalea

Deciduous. Summer flowering. Wide growing and slow with upright branches. Very late blooming. Delicate pink flowers the third week of July. Each flower has an orange eye and a touch of sweet fruity fragrance into early August. When it finishes blooming, each flower retains its color and hangs from the pistil for several more days. Small rounded apple-green foliage turns a distinctive coppery yellow before dropping in autumn. This is the latest flowering fragrant azalea we grow.
