Enjoy charming springtime flowers with the Hampton Beauty Azalea. Light pink flowers have a greenish-white throat and rose-red specks inside the uppermost petal. The pronounced stamens gently curl, providing added dimension. The petals of the Rhododendron 'Hampton Beauty' come to a gentle point, creating a unique look for an Azalea. Medium green foliage mimics the shape of the petals and stays in place year-round.

The Hampton Beauty Azalea makes a lovely flowering foundation planting or medium-sized hedge. These shrubs are large enough to divide an area but allow for open sight lines. Feature the Hampton Beauty Azalea in the back of a mixed bed for a burst of springtime color, followed by consistent greenery.

Hampton Beauty Azalea Care

Plant Hampton Beauty in fertile, moist, well-drained soil with an acidic pH. Water consistently for the first year to promote a healthy root system; give established plants a drink during an extended dry spell. A layer of mulch retains moisture and prevents weeds. Plant in full sun for the most prolific blooming. Apply an acidic fertilizer to support continued growth.

Prune as needed after flowering is complete. Azaleas set flower buds by late summer, so avoid pruning late in the growing season to ensure abundant flowers next year.

Hampton Beauty Azalea Spacing

The Hampton Beauty Azalea is a beauty that reaches up to 5 feet tall and 6 feet wide. Space shrubs 4 to 6 feet apart when creating a continuous planting or hedge.
