This compact evergreen ornamental shrub is valued for its soft pink spring flowers, low-growing habit, and dependable performance in shaded gardens. Gumpo Pink azalea is especially well-suited for smaller spaces, offering classic azalea beauty without overwhelming the landscape.

In mid to late spring, the shrub produces an abundance of soft pink, funnel-shaped flowers that contrast beautifully with glossy, dark green evergreen foliage. The foliage remains attractive year-round, providing consistent structure even when the plant is not in bloom. Its naturally low, spreading form makes it ideal for foundations, edging, and mass plantings.

Well-suited for home gardens, Gumpo Pink azalea performs best in part shade and acidic, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. It benefits from protection from harsh afternoon sun and is easy-care once established, making it a reliable choice for shaded borders and compact garden designs.
