Description
With gorgeous flowers that fill the garden with a wonderful spicy aroma, the Spring Sensation Aromi Azalea is a deciduous rhododendron hybrid that produces abundant clusters of deep pink buds that open to exquisite, large and spicy-sweet scented flowers with soft pink petals striped a deeper pink down the center. Beautiful, elongated pink stamens reach out well beyond the petals. 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!
Spring Sensation 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, Spring Sensation 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
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Rhododendron variety is not reliably winter hardy, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Spring Sensation Azalea is very easy to grow in moist but well-drained soil of average to high fertility. Spring Sensation 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. Some suggest full sun tolerance throughout the zones where it is listed hardy, however, we always like to play it safe so as mentioned a break from direct afternoon sun in hotter climates. 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.

Beautifully, securely packed. Obviously professional growers. The plants arrived quickly and healthy. They’ve already bloomed for the year. The flowers are not as pink as pictured, but I expect the micronutrients may not have been sufficient at present. We are very satisfied and we expect to order more.——————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
I was so happy to find this plant. It grew on the property where I grew up, and I had no idea that anyone sold them. The plants arrived quickly, perfectly packaged, and are exactly the same plant I remember.
They are beautiful, healthy, and exactly what I had hoped for.————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! Thanks for the kind words! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I am a huge fan of Wilson Brothers, having bought hundeds of plants from the company (and planning to buy hundreds more). Wilson Brothers carries many really unusual items; ships plants in eco-friendly packaging (no styrofoam peanuts here); and makes sure everything arrives healthy and well-watered. I have introduced many gardening friends to Wilson Brothers and consider this company my go-to source of trees and shrubs.—————————————Thanks so much for the awesome review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG 🙂
A beautiful plant. Arrived in excellent condition and it is thriving. A little expensive but I am confident it will do well.————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
