Azalea plant-Lucille K

Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Belgian-Indica type Azalea named Lucille K which is a sport of Azalea U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,159 named Red Wing. Lucille K is like its parent Red Wing in many of its vegetative characteristics, but is distinctly different from Red Wing in the following ways: Flower color, flower petal always has a pronounced white margin, the flowers are hardier resulting in longer blooming, and the plant flowers naturally on or about Valentine's Day (February 14th).

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Azalea of the Belgium Indica type as described and illustrated, known by the cultivar name Lucille K.
