Azalea indica Goyet

Common Name:
Azalea – Goyet

Description:
Azalea indica ‘Goyet’ is a vigorous, evergreen azalea cultivar celebrated for its profusion of large, double, rich red-pink flowers that bloom mainly in spring, with sporadic flowering into autumn. This compact, bushy shrub showcases glossy, dark green foliage that may adopt subtle bronze hues in cooler seasons. Thriving in part shade to morning sun, it performs best in moist, well-drained, acidic soil enriched with organic matter. It is frost-tolerant, low maintenance, and excellent for mass planting, container displays, hedging, or underplanting beneath trees.
