The Mollis Azalea is the secret to bringing a tropical explosion of color to our high-desert and mountain landscapes. This deciduous powerhouse typically matures into a sturdy, upright shrub reaching 4 to 6 feet tall and wide, making it a fantastic structural choice for the back of a flower bed or as a vibrant privacy screen. Known for its massive, funnel-shaped clusters of blooms in fiery shades of orange, gold, and yellow, it lights up the garden in late spring with a fragrance that is simply unforgettable. While it loves a spot with cool morning sun and protection from the harsh afternoon heat, it is surprisingly tough and cold-hardy once established. Best of all, its fuzzy foliage is naturally unappealing to deer and rabbits, so those spectacular blossoms remain yours to enjoy. It is a reliable, nectar-rich magnet for butterflies that adds a sophisticated, earthy glow to any yard.
