About this Flowering Chinzan Azalea Bonsai, 15 Years Old, 14 Inches Tall (Azalea satsuki)
Satsuki azalea 'Chinzan' is a naturally dwarf, tight-growing evergreen with small glossy leaves that come to a point. Where most azaleas flower in early spring, Chinzan waits until May and June and then covers itself in deep pink blooms, and it will do so even in a shaded position. This plant is 15 years old, 14 inches tall and 18 inches across in both directions. Care outdoors is straightforward, and like other satsuki it does best in an acid, free-draining soil.
