Azalea Japonica 'Mad. van Hecke' is a compact evergreen shrub valued for its vivid late spring colour and neat, naturally rounded growth. In May, the plant becomes smothered in richly toned pink flowers that contrast beautifully with its glossy dark foliage. Its controlled size makes it especially useful for containers, low hedging, or the front of ericaceous borders. Reliable, long-lived, and easy to maintain when grown in acidic soil, this variety brings structure and seasonal impact to gardens of all sizes while remaining attractive throughout the year.
