Family Ericaceae

Azalea × 'Orchid Lights', or 'Orchid Lights' hardy azalea, is a small, early-flowering ornamental shrub, selected for its delicately scented orchid-pink flowers, which brighten up the garden in spring. Its compact, rounded habit is adorned with soft green foliage, which takes on warm hues in autumn. Part of the Northern Lights series, this variety offers remarkable hardiness, making it perfectly suited for landscaping in cold climates. It is ideal for woodland borders, semi-shaded rockeries, or flowerbeds, where it brings a luminous, understated, and elegant floral touch, while attracting butterflies and hummingbirds.
