Azalea Chalet® Plum

Bright pink flowers with maroon throats.

Chalet® Azaleas
Selected from a batch of seedling crosses made and shared by famed nurseryman Tom Dodd in Semmes, AL during the late 1990’s, these xpoukhanense hybrids were trialed and finally selected by Chalet® Nursery in Illinois for their extreme hardiness, reliable flower power and wider range of flower colors.

The darkest color in the Chalet®️ series, Plum is favored among many due to its dark, plum-colored flowers. Darker spotting in the throat gives this variety more dimension and an overall purple hue.

Please note: We don't sell plants. Asking your local retailer or googling the plant name is the easiest way to find someone selling our plants.
