Dauntless Azalea (Glenn Dale Hydrid) – 2 Gallon Pot

---

A very rare and gorgeous evergreen Azalea developed by the U.S. National Arboretum, ‘Dauntless’ is a Glenn Dale Hybrid featuring an unusual and unique flower color unlike we’ve seen on any other azalea. In late spring, Dauntless shows off abundant clusters of 2-inch diameter funnel-shape flowers with deep purplish red petals surrounding a scarlet eye zone. The upper petal is splashed with deep red freckles. The plant itself has a low and spreading habit to 2 feet tall by 3 or more feet wide. This lower profile makes it an excellent selection for use in groupings or as a groundcover or low border in the landscape. The evergreen foliage emerges light green in spring maturing to a handsome dark green throughout the rest of the year. The butterflies and hummingbirds will thank you for planting this beauty!

Growing 18 to 14 inches tall and 3 or more feet wide, the Dauntless Azalea is ideal for use as an accent specimen in smaller garden spaces, or in groupings or as a groundcover or border in the landscape or woodland borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to Azalea and Rhododendron Gardens, purple theme gardens, butterfly and hummingbird gardens and cottage gardens.

Spacing:  2.5 to 3′ for solid hedges;  6’+ for space between plants
