Valley Rose Andromeda is an upright mounding evergreen shrub with rich green foliage that emerges bronze-orange. The drooping clusters of rose pink buds open to pink flushed bell-flowers that bloom as the new growth emerges in spring. Best bloom in part sun with slightly acidic and moist well-drained soils.
