With a color like no other Azalea, ‘Elsie Lee' is a wonderful old fashion lower growing hybrid that produces a profusion of gorgeous, 2.5 inch lavender flowers with ruffled petals. The semi-double flowers nearly cover foliage in mid to late spring. Attractive deep green evergreen foliage on a semi-dwarf shrub that grows 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. Very cold hardy, Elsie Lee can be grown in gardens as far north as USDA Zone 5a, where many other azaleas will not survive.
