Azalea Exbury 'Gibraltar' is an iconic variety, famous for its intense, flamboyant orange, trumpet-shaped flowers that brighten up the garden from mid-spring. This deciduous azalea develops a bushy, well-balanced habit, reaching a medium height ideal for flowerbeds or hedges. Very hardy, it adapts to a wide variety of conditions as long as the soil remains acidic and well-drained. Its dark green foliage turns coppery red in autumn. 'Gibraltar' is a bold and vibrant choice, perfect for gardens that want to display color with panache.
