Add To CartA standout deciduous azalea known for its radiant, multi-toned blooms that appear in mid to late summer. The flowers are trumpet-shaped and softly fragrant with a blend of shades of golden yellow, peach, and ivory, creating a luminous effect in the garden when many other azaleas have finished blooming. Its glossy green summer foliage shifts briefly to bronze in the fall before dropping, adding a short-lived but lovely touch of seasonal color.
With a naturally low, compact habit that slowly spreads over time. Adds texture and color to mixed borders, woodland gardens, or as a subtle focal point in foundation plantings. It's also deer-resistant and low-maintenance.
Growing Tips for Rhododendron viscosum x bakeri ''Golden Showers''
Plant in well-drained soil. While it prefers partial shade, especially in warmer regions, it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates as long as the soil stays consistently moist. Water regularly during dry spells, particularly in the first few years while it establishes. Pruning isn’t typically necessary, but if shaping is desired, do so right after blooming. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce next year’s flower display.
