Developed through the tireless research of the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboreum, the Northern Lights series of azaleas that are truly a reason for everyone living in cold, stark winter climates to cheer! All Northern Light varieties share extreme hardiness (to at least -30 degrees F), extreme floriferousness, disease resistant foliage, and pleasing flower aromas, Northern Lights bloom before foliage emerges on deciduous stems with an explosion of fragrant pom-pom flower trusses that will melt the heart of any cold weather landscaper. Truly carefree and truly beautiful, these hardy wonders are an absolute must for landscape uses ranging from foundation plantings to specimen use to use in groupings to produce colorful, naturalized splashes in semi-wooded areas.
