Satsuki Azalea

About this plant

Elevate your landscape with the timeless charm of the 'Gumpo Pink' Satsuki Azalea. This exquisite dwarf evergreen shrub bursts into a spectacular display of ruffled, trumpet-shaped pink flowers, often featuring delicate white blotches, creating a striking contrast against its small, dark green leaves. Its dense, mounding habit makes it an ideal choice for foundational plantings, borders, or container gardening where its beauty can be admired up close. Cherished for its refined appearance and relatively low maintenance, 'Gumpo Pink' brings sophisticated color to your garden when many other spring blooms begin to fade. Its compact size ensures it fits beautifully into smaller spaces or complements larger designs without overwhelming them. Perfect for creating a serene, Asian-inspired garden or adding a touch of classic elegance to any setting. At A Cut Above, we select only the finest specimens to ensure vigorous growth and stunning floral displays. The 'Gumpo Pink' Satsuki Azalea is a testament to enduring beauty and reliable performance, promising years of delightful color and texture.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Thrives in well-drained, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Apply a slow-release, acid-loving fertilizer in early spring. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage dense growth. Protect from harsh winter winds in colder zones.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
