Western Lights Deciduous Azalea is a hardy shrub that offers vibrant flower and foliage color throughout the seasons. In late spring and early summer, 1 inch wide lavender flowers appear in trusses of up to 12. This deciduous shrub has dark green foliage in the summer followed by a variable red color in the fall. This is a deciduous azalea variety, so it will not keep its leaves through the winter.
