This nice low spreader has white flowers with pink spots and stripes and blooms in April. Repeat bloomer.  One of a group of Southern Indian (Indica) hybrids.This hybrid group was developed from a large collection of Belgian Indian hybrids in the Southeastern US around 1870. It is a mixed group, including forms and hybrids of R. indicum X R. simsii and 'Mucronatum' forms X R. indicum. Early bloomers are usually more upright and vigorous, while later bloomers are more compact and spreading. This group is sometimes referred to as "Sun Azaleas" because of their strong sun and heat tolerance. Hardy in Zones 8-10.
