Rhododendron x bakeri

‘Baker Dean'

   Azalea

Zones 6-10

Baker’s Azalea is a compact, native shrub in the Ericaceae (blueberry) family, valued for its dark-pink blooms and ornamental foliage. A natural hybrid of Rhododendron canescens and R. flammeum, this broadleaf evergreen or semi-deciduous shrub typically reaches 3–5 ft tall and 4–6 ft wide in 10 years, forming a dense, rounded habit. Native to the eastern United States, it thrives in moist, well-drained, acidic, humus-rich soils, tolerates occasional wetness, and performs best in partial shade to avoid harsh summer sun. Minimal pruning is needed and is best done after flowering, and the plant may slowly spread by stolons.

Ideal for woodland gardens, naturalized groupings, or as a specimen in pollinator-friendly landscapes, Baker’s Azalea attracts hummingbirds and bees, providing both seasonal color and wildlife value.
