Description: Sherwood Orchid Azalea (Purple Orchid Azalea) Botanical Name: Rhododendron ‘Sherwoodii’ This listing is for one (1) Sherwood Orchid Azalea plant that ranges in size between 8 and 10 inches in height. The plant you will receive will be between these ranges of size as there will be slight differences from the photos in the listing as no two plants are the same. They will be guaranteed vibrant and healthy and ready for transplanting. We do not ship with the pot as the pot allows for too much soil moisture evaporation. It will be securely adhered to the package wall for the safest shipping method possible. PLEASE BE ADVISED: From October to March, we ship these plants in their dormant state. This plant is evergreen which means they will have still bear their leaves. The stem will be strewn with buds for this coming spring's growth. If you live in a southern state, these will push new growth upon planting them as dormancy is dependent on hours of daylight and temperature. We are located in New York State and temperatures can differ drastically around the country. Please contact us with any questions on dormancy. We do send dormant planting instructions with every order.
