Azalea ‘Gumpo Pink’, commonly known as Azalea, is a low-growing, evergreen shrub admired for its large, soft pink blooms and tidy spreading habit. Blooming later than most azaleas—typically in late spring to early summer—‘Gumpo Pink’ offers a second wave of color when other azaleas have faded. This dwarf variety grows just 1 to 2 feet tall and up to 3 feet wide, making it perfect for the front of borders, small spaces, or container gardens. Its dense foliage provides year-round texture and structure, and the profusion of ruffled flowers creates a showy carpet of color.
