Although small in form, the pink flowers of the Chinzan Azalea really pack a punch when they bloom in late spring. Also known as Rhododendron satsuki 'Chinzan', this dwarf azalea grows to no more than 1 to 2 feet tall and is perfect for smaller outdoor spaces. With the main flush of flowers developing in May, it can also rebloom throughout the summer.
The evergreen Chinzan Azalea produces neat little mounds of dark green foliage, which contrast its pink flowers. It needs little ongoing care and is considered a low-maintenance shrub. This azalea is ideal for growing in a small or large group or for lining a pathway. It is also perfectly suited to growing in a container and is winter hardy in USDA zones 6a to 9b.
Chinzan Azalea Care
The Chinzan Azalea performs best when it is grown in partial shade and protected from strong afternoon light. It prefers rich and acidic soil that is moist but well drained. Water regularly, aiming to keep the soil moist and the foliage dry. Fertilizing is not generally required. Nevertheless, you can boost growth by providing fresh mulch each spring.
Minimal if any pruning is needed. Light pruning can be performed after the first flowers in spring have finished to clean up old growth. When growing in a container, more frequent irrigation will be required to keep the soil from drying out.
Chinzan Azalea Spacing
The Chinzan Azalea can reach a mature size of 1 to 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. Space plants 3 to 5 feet apart for a defined shape or closer when forming a low hedge.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
