Azalea 'Watchet' Light Pink Blooms
Evergreen Azalea With Pink Blooms
Robin Hill Hybrid
Zones 6-8
'Watchet’ is mid-spring as well as a fall bloomer with large 3-4 inch light pink blooms with a good amount of ruffles and a white throat. While the blooms are large, the habit is low mounding, reaching 2-3 ft in height by 3-4 ft in width in 10 years. 'Watchet’ is a Robin Hill hybrid by Robert Gartrell. If you look into the breeder Robert Gartrell, you realize he was the “Most Interesting Man In the World” from the Dos Equis commercials. He was a chemist, plant breeder, classical music lover, woodworker, avid reader, and even held a patent for a backstop for rifle targets. The name of “Robin Hill” hybrids came from novel, The Forsythe Saga, which he also had named his home. The name ‘Watchet’ likely comes from a harbor town in England with this name.
