Description
Producing some of the hottest pink flowers you’ve ever seen, the low mounds of dark glossy green foliage of the Chinzan Dwarf Azalea is a Satsuki Hybrid Azalea is nearly covered in bloom in spring and then reblooms in late summer into fall! The spring bloom is heavier and usually occurs late in the season during the month of May. We love this cute little azalea that has big flower power and think you will too!

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 am looking forward to seeing the new area with several types of dwarf azaleas.——————————————–Thanks so much for your review.

My husband found this website. We are in Florida and wanted to brighten our front yard. Found this pink azalea and ordered 5. To my surprise I was pleased to see how well they were packed. Moist towels around each plant to keep them watered in transit.
We have planted them and already see new growth after 2 weeks.
We are very pleased with this company and would use them again.

The Chinzan Azaleas arrived looking healthy and well packed for shipping. Thanks for sending two with pink blooms, because I was trying to match three others that are about 10 years old. They seem to match perfectly. Thank you. I look forward to future purchases.——————————————-WBG Reply: Hi Richard, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Chinzan Dwarf Azalea.

The plant came with a couple broken branches but the over all product was nice and had flowers. I’ve ordered several other plants from Wilson Bros Gardens and can say their plants are of exceptional quality compared to many other nurseries I’ve purchased from in the past. Can’t wait for the next blooming season. Very pretty.
The dwarf azaleas arrived in a reasonable amount of time and in good condition. The plants seem to be healthy, and they are already showing a lot of new growth since being planted in the ground. I can’t wait to see them in bloom. I am pleased with this purchase.
