Growth Habit: Broad, spreading deciduous azalea with an open, natural branching structure. Forms a soft, informal mound with layered growth and visible interior framework. Moderate growth rate.
Foliage Description: Small, narrow elliptic green leaves during the growing season. Deciduous in Zones 5–7, with foliage often developing attractive reddish-bronze fall coloration before dropping.
Flower Description: Funnel-shaped lavender to rosy-purple single flowers with deeper spotting on upper petals. Blooms are slightly smaller than many hybrid azaleas and appear before or just as foliage emerges.

Fall Color: Reddish-bronze to burgundy before leaf drop.
Light Requirements: Full sun to partial shade; best flowering in full sun with adequate moisture.

Naturalized woodland plantings; slope stabilization; mass plantings; mixed shrub borders; early spring color in informal gardens; transitional shrub in native-inspired landscapes; foundation plantings in colder regions.

Like most azaleas, Poukhanense may be browsed by deer, particularly tender new growth and flower buds. Protection is recommended in areas with moderate to heavy deer pressure in Zones 5–7.
