Azalea Chalet® Plum
Colorful and hardy to -15F!
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.

Pruning
These compact azaleas should not need to much shaping, but if you find yourself wanting to do a little, make sure you prune them right after flowering in the spring.Pruning any later than June will sacrifice next year's flowers.
