Positive	mooonie	On Sep 5, 2011, mooonie from Circle Pines, MN wrote: One of the first U of MN cultivars sustainable in our harsh MN climates. Mollis predates Azalea-Lights series by many years. Mollis can also grow to 6'-8' in correct environment. Can also be started by using a rooting hormone easily enough. A friend has done many of his by seed. This marvelous azalea isn't well known and hard to find. When it blooms...it comes out a soft salmon color. As the bloom ages the color starts to scream a deep bright salmon. Breath-taking.
