Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of evergreen azalea of the genus Rhododendron and a member of the Ericaceae family. This new variety of azalea plant is the result of a breeding program. The principal objectives of this breeding program were to produce new varieties of evergreen azaleas which are floriferous, compact, vigorous, and easy to propagate using vegetative cuttings.
The specific parentage of the new variety is unknown because no records were kept of the crosses that resulted in the new plant. The breeding program incorporated the use of 47 varieties of evergreen azaleas from seven hybrid groups that were grown at the Mossholder Nurseries in La Habra, Calif.

______________________________________
`Billie Dee` most closely resembles the Satsuki group of hybrid azaleas.
This new hybrid has the following combination of characteristics which distinguish it from other varieties.
1. Flower color pattern, form and season of bloom. The blooms have pale lilac centers bordered with rose purple lobes. The plant has single 6.4 to 7.6 cm blooms which occur mid season (February-April) in southern California.
2. Plant form and vigor. The plant is naturally compact and very vigorous.
3. Ease of vegetative propagation. The new hybrid has been reproduced thousands of times by cuttings at Hines Nurseries in Irvine, Calif. Each of the progeny exhibit characteristics identical to the original mother plant, establishing the hybrid as reproducible and true to type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
FIG. 1 is a closeup of a flower cluster of azalea `Billie Dee` demonstrating the color pattern and size.
FIG. 2 is a photograph showing the overall appearance showing the naturally compact growth habit and prolific blooming habit.
FIG. 3 is a photograph of a nearly mature 9 year old plant that has just passed the blooming stage.
DETAILED PLANT DESCRIPTION

Origin: Hybrid seedling.
Parentage: Unknown.
Classification: Hybrid.
Form: Globose and compact. Dense, twiggy branching. Symmetrical. Branch positions are whorled.
Growth: Active, strong rapid growth on the plant's own rootstock (vigorous). Estimated annual terminal growth averages about 15 cm.
Size: Height of a 9 year old plant in a #15 container reached 81.5 cm (32 inches) with a width of 109 cm (43 inches). The estimated height for a mature plant (older than 10 years) is 90 cm with an approximate width of 120 cm.
Blooming habit: Prolific.
Blooming period: Blooms appear in mid-February and continue through mid-April in Irvine, Calif.
