Detailed Description: Here's your charming Judge Solomon Pink Azalea in a perfect 3-gallon size! Most homeowners maintain these at 4–6 feet tall and 4–5 feet wide, though they can reach 6–7 feet if left unpruned. What makes Judge Solomon special? Those soft pink blooms have an almost peachy undertone that's incredibly elegant – not too bright, not too pale, just perfect! Here in Willis, it's wonderfully reliable with a more compact habit than some azaleas, making it ideal for smaller spaces or foundation plantings. The blooms cover the plant beautifully each spring without being overwhelming. The evergreen foliage stays neat and tidy year-round. In winter, expect it to remain completely evergreen through our Willis climate, keeping that compact, well-shaped appearance all season long!
