The Dwarf Chinzan Azalea (Rhododendron ‘Chinzan’) is a charming Satsuki azalea hybrid admired for its striking hot pink blooms and its neat, compact growth habit. Here are some important details about this delightful plant:

Appearance:

The Chinzan Azalea showcases vibrant hot pink flowers that create a stunning contrast with its glossy green foliage.

Foliage:

The leaves have a vibrant and fresh appearance, with a compact size of less than 1.5 inches.
This azalea has a very compact growth habit, making it perfect for those who appreciate the art of bonsai. It's also quite effective when planted in dense borders or as a compact shrub for the base of a garden.
The Chinzan Azalea maintains its lush green foliage all year round, giving it a strong and vibrant look even in the winter months1.

Tips for Cultivation:

Light: 

Plant in areas with partial shade or where sunlight is filtered through trees or other objects. Morning sunlight followed by afternoon shade is also perfectly fine.

Soil: It's important to have soil that is well-drained, acidic, organically rich, and has good moisture retention.

Consider selecting a spot that is shielded from powerful gusts of wind for added protection.

Be cautious of certain trees:

It's best to steer clear of planting near walnut trees or other trees that produce juglone, as azaleas can be negatively affected by their toxins.
Applying mulch can help retain moisture and stabilize soil temperatures. Consider using wood chips, bark, or pine needles for this purpose.

Soil pH: Adjust soil acidity if necessary (target a pH range of 5.0 to 5.5).

Pruning:

Trim away faded flower clusters once they have finished blooming.

Size: Reaches a maximum height of 2 feet and has a spread of approximately 4 feet
