Azalea pennsylvania

Hi Gene:
I bought my "pennsylvania at Westons up in Hopkinton,Ma last October, 
wintered it over in my veggie garden and transplanted to a permanent(?) home 
this spring. I believe it's a Weston hybrid. The Mezitts, owners of Westons 
were responsible for Rhody "PJM" "OLGA" and others   Her's what they say 
about 'pennsylvania' "Summer flowering. Very late blooming. Delicate pink 
flowers the third week of July.  Each flower has an orange eye and remains 
colorful with a touch of sweet fruity fragrance into early August. Wide 
growing, slow,and upright.  Small rounded apple green foliage turns a 
distinctive coppery yellow before dropping in autumn."  This beauty is 
nothing like the Exbury types; more like an evergreen type.  
You might also check out Carlsons Gardens in Salem, NY just a few miles above 
White Plains.  I know they have Polly Hill " West Tisbury" azaleas which are 
late June ground cover types getting only 12/15 inches tall but eventually 
spreding 5/6 feet.  great over a wall.  And con't forget a blueberry bush or 
two; great in the woodland garden, tho they prefer sun, they'll be ok, just 
don't expect many berries.
