Description

‘Gumpo Pink’ is a true dwarf, dense and mounding Satsuki Hybrid evergreen azalea that produces large, ruffled bright coral-pink flowers in late spring through early summer. It’s small size lends well for those tight spots in the landscape and under low sitting windows or decks.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide, Gumpo Pink Azalea is a perfect choice for groupings, mass plantings, low hedges or an accent in partially shaded landscape borders, woodland gardens, and home foundation plantings. Use under low windows and along low sitting decks. Butterflies love the flowers, and blooming branches serve very well for cutting to create stunning indoor floral arrangements.

Spacing: 1.5′ for solid hedges; 4’+ for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Azalea variety is not winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy growing it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Evergreen Azaleas are easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot. They prefer a moist but well-drained and acidic soil that is rich in organic matter and part sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun is ideal. Moderate drought tolerance when established.

We received a very nice hardy looking plant. Quick shipping. The area it is to be planted is not completed yet (removing ground cover). It is surviving nicely in the pot it arrived in.

I just received my dwarf azalea. I have ordered plants online in the past and in some cases been disappointed with the condition of the plant when it arrived. That was not the case today. The azalea is just beautiful and you would never know it traveled from Georgia to Washington in a cardboard box.
Thank you so much for your selection, quality, and service. Her name is Eloise, and I will take very good care of her.—————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

When our azaleas arrived they were amazingly healthy!! I was so impressed with the packaging and care that had went into these plants! They are thriving, and I have new growth already on them in the first week! Wow! The plants I received from my local nursery were not even as healthy as these. We have already recommended Wilson bros gardens to our friends!! Thank you guys!————————————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks so much for the kind words and awesome review! Beth | WBG 🙂

I was hesitant to purchase plants by mail, but pleased to receive beautiful and healthy specimens that were packaged well and undamaged. I highly recommend using Wilson Bros for those plants that are hard to find at your local nursery. Only 4 stars on this review because one of the five purchased was a little leggy when compared to the others.——————–The leggy one will catch up…Thanks so much for your review. Let us know if there’s ever anything we can help you with. 🙂 – Beth | WBG
