| History | A polyploid form (doubled chromosomes) of ‘Snowbird,’ considered by many to be the most fragrant deciduous azalea. It retains all the good qualities, but has larger, pure white flowers, more substantial leaves and thicker branches. It has the same beautiful glaucous (blue) foliage and is also extremely fragrant.
