BIXBY'S IN BLOOM



I love this azalea which is blooming in my garden now.  Not only is it's color unique, but it is so low to the ground it appears to be a groundcover.

This hardy azalea was developed by renown hybridizer Peter J. Mezzitt, he of the PJM fame and one of America's greatest.  It is a cross between the Korean 'poukhanense ' and another variety.

  1. What a stunning colour! Wouldn't it be wonderful paired with an apricot? :) I like the fact that it's low growing.
