Description

‘Aphrodite’ is a Glenn Dale hybrid azalea, bred in 1941 from R. ‘Malvaticum’ × R. indicum, notable for its abundant display of pale to mid‑pink flowers in mid‑to‑late spring. This evergreen to semi‑evergreen shrub features glossy green foliage that may flush red in cooler weather, with a compact, rounded habit typically reaching 3–5 ft in height and spread in about seven years. It thrives in part shade, acidic, organically rich, well‑drained soils, and tolerates a range from sandy loam to clay loam. Its large 2–3‑inch blossoms appear in loose clusters on old wood, so light pruning after flowering enhances structure and rebloom next season. ‘Aphrodite’ has earned recognition for landscape merit (e.g., consistent spring bloom and evergreen appeal) in public and private plantings.

Heritage Hybrid: Developed in 1941 as part of the Glenn Dale azalea breeding program, combining R. ‘Malvaticum’ with R. indicum.
Semi-evergreen foliage: Retains glossy green leaves year-round in mild climates; may reddish flush in cooler zones.
Mid‑spring bloom: Produces abundant pale rose‑pink flowers (2–3″ across) in loose clusters on old wood; a highlight in landscape spring displays.
