This azalea at my in-law's place inspired me to try planting a couple in my garden. Since we have more cold and snow however, they do not grow as big. Then I had the deer nibbling problem, and the two plants disappeared. Now that I've learned how to protect the most vulnerable plants from deer in the winter, I may try again to grow an azalea.
The azalea in the photo is a good 5' wide.
