Description
Sure to be a conversation piece in your gardens, the Conversation Piece Azalea produces LOADS of various color flowers on the same plant! Some flowers will be dark pink, some nearly white, while others are splashed and variegated with dark pink and white with darker pink center blotches. The wonderfully unique 3.5″ ruffled blooms smother the handsome dark green evergreen foliage in late spring and rebloom again in fall. For those who love Azaleas and plants with amazing color, Conversation Piece is a must have plant!
Please Note: Sometimes young Conversation Piece Azaleas will produce only one color of flower. As the plant matures it will begin to produce variations.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a rounded mound 3 to 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide or a little more at maturity, Conversation Piece Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a natural hedge in landscape and woodland borders and home foundation plantings. Grows well in medium size containers 14 inches or more in diameter. A fine addition to Azalea gardens, cottage gardens, and partially shaded woodland gardens.
Spacing: 3 feet apart for solid hedges; 7 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Azalea variety is not reliably winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences
Evergreen Azaleas are easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot. They prefer a moist but well-drained and acidic soil that is rich in organic matter and part sun. Morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun is ideal. Though plants will tolerate periodic wet conditions, constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic. Moderate drought tolerance when established.

I bought more than $900 worth of plants from one of your competitors. Their packaging was so bad that every plant came with soil all over the box and the more delicate ones like the Salvia are struggling to make it. I bought the azaleas from you because the price was A LOT cheaper. I wasn’t sure what I was going to get. After receiving my azaleas and seeing how well they were packaged and are doing right out the box, I’m switching my business to you guys. I just ordered almost $400 worth of plants and can’t wait to get them!————————————–Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

My first order from Wilson & all is well. It arrived healthy, safely & still damp, I ordered it later than I would have liked for spring, so I haven’t enjoyed the blooms as of early June. Even immediately after planting it was vibrant & healthy. I was also pleased with the size. I’ve been watering it daily, looks like an easy keeper.———————————————-Thanks so much for the photo! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
My order was delivered very promptly and in perfect, healthy condition. I planted it mid-Summer so will have to wait to see the blooms. The plant itself is very pretty with dark green leaves and it is a very nice contrast to my other plants and flowers.————————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
Plant was in wonderful condition when it arrived. It’s already growing new little leaves in its new home. Thank You for your beautiful plants.——————————Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG
I received 6 healthy, robust, VERY well rooted plants. I got home from work to find 2 very smashed boxes sitting at my door. My heart sank but knowing this nursery I decided to open the boxes to see what plants could possibly have survived the rough handling these boxes had taken. To my amazement I found because the boxes were a foot taller then the plants, the top squash ended where the interior was reinforced and the side and bottom squash just squeezed the nursery pots inside. These plants were full so I pruned a few broken branches and VOILA beautiful plants. I highly recommend Wilson Bros Gardens! UPS not so much! ——————— WBG Reply: Hi Connie – Thanks so much for your review of the Conversation Piece Azaleas and we know you and your guests will find them to be a good “conversation piece” when they’re in bloom. Glad to hear that even though the packages were mishandled and beat up that the plants were fine. Since you ordered these, we’ve gone to a new box that’s twice as thick and sturdy as our old boxes. With UPS and FedEx scrambling to keep up with increased business and rushing more than usual to get packages delivered, it’s something we felt we needed to upgrade. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. We’re at your service! – Brent | Wilson bros Gardens
So far so good. Haven’t seen it bloom yet, but plant is doing well. Anxious to see the blooms next spring. ——————— WBG Reply: Hi Barbara – Thanks so much for your review of the Conversation Piece Azalea. Glad to hear it’s doing well and you should get to see some blooms next spring. Hope you enjoy this “conversation piece’ of a flowering shrub for years to come.

My first order with Wilson Bros. and definitely not my last! My azaleas were healthy, full, and much larger than expected. They are thriving in their new home despite some weather setbacks (brrr!) and showing new growth, to my surprise. Well done, WBG! ————————– WBG Reply: Hi Deborah – I’ve seen three of your reviews today and just love the titles! Thanks for taking the time to provide reviews and all the compliments. It makes everything we do even more worth the while. Hope you enjoy the azaleas for years to come.
