  • The first Polish azalea variety from the Kurume group with evergreen leaves.
    Select in 2000 from seedlings obtained from Rh. ‘Kermesina Alba’ at the Sylwester and Dorota Tomszak Ornamental Shrub Nursery in Czechowice-Dziedzice. Named after the breeder’s wife, the variety was introduced to the market in 2007.
  • A slow-growing plant, it reaches approximately 0.8 m in height after 10 years.
  • The leaves are light green and small.
  • The flowers are double, very attractive, pure white with faint, sparse, light yellow spots on the upper petal, a hose-in-hose pattern (the stamens have evolved into additional petals). They are clustered at the tops of the shoots. It sometimes blooms again in autumn, but not as profusely. It inherited its high frost resistance and health from its mother plant.
  • It prefers sunny to partly shaded locations, with acidic, slightly moist soil.
  • It is highly frost-resistant, inherited from its mother plant, down to -22°C.
