Description

With extremely showy multicolor flowers that light up and fill the garden with a wonderful spicy aroma, the Pink Carousel Aromi Azalea is a deciduous hybrid rhododendron that produces abundant clusters of red buds that open to soft pink flowers with wavy petals and a prominent golden blotch on the upper petal. Beautiful! Heat and humidity tolerance, vigor, fragrance, and unique color all come together for an absolutely stunning color display and delicious aroma in the spring garden!

Pink Carousel is one of many Aromi Hybrid deciduous rhododendron selections developed by Dr. Aromi. In hopes that they might be enjoyed throughout a much broader range of the US, and especially for the hot and humid climate of the South, Dr. Aromi used native species as well as hybrids in breeding to develop this heat tolerant series with the same if not improved colors, vigor, and fragrance of our native deciduous azalea species. Though the Aromi’s are cross hybrids and technically not “full-blooded” North American natives, to keep things simple we list them in our Native Azalea category.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, the Pink Carousel Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in woodland borders or other areas of the landscape that provide moist but well-drained soils rich in organic matter. A fine selection for fragrance gardens, Azalea gardens, woodland gardens, pink theme gardens, and cottage gardens.

Spacing: We do not suggest planting this beauty as a hedge however, if used in a solid row space at 4 to 5 feet apart; 8-10 feet or more for space between plants

Growing Preferences

The Pink Carousel Azalea is very easy to grow in moist but well-drained soil of average to high fertility. Pink Carousel performs well in full sun in the northern USDA Zones where it grows but will appreciate some shade or filtered sun in the afternoon in the deep South. Once established, plants are quite drought tolerant, requiring supplemental water only during prolonged periods of dry summer weather. Native azaleas are very low-maintenance, requiring little if any pruning. That said, occasionally we might prune a stray branch that is spoiling the natural form of the plant.

The 3 Rhododendron aromi ‘Pink Carousel’ I received a few weeks ago were in their dormant stage as expected. The plants were well rooted and truly excellent specimens.
