Korean Azalea (Rhododendron yedoense var. poukhanense)
Korean Azalea brings a soft spring bloom show to the landscape while staying tough enough for real garden conditions. Its lavender to rose-purple flowers brighten woodland edges and mixed borders, then the shrub settles into a dense, leafy presence that helps beds look more finished. It is especially useful when you want azalea color in cooler climates without relying on a delicate plant. With acidic soil and steady moisture, it becomes a dependable shrub you can repeat for a cohesive, established look.
Distinctive Features
This azalea produces clusters of lightly fragrant, funnel-shaped flowers in spring, typically in the lavender to pink-purple range. The habit is dense and mounded, often broadening with age into a wider-than-tall outline that works well in mass plantings. Foliage is green through the growing season and can show orange to red-purple tones in fall, with leaf retention varying from semi-evergreen to deciduous depending on winter conditions. It can gradually spread and fill in, making it a strong choice for knitting borders together over time.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Part shade is ideal, with morning sun and afternoon shade helping flowers and foliage look their best.
- Soil: Acidic, humus-rich, well-drained soil that holds moisture without staying soggy.
- Water: Moderate, keep evenly moist during establishment, then water during dry periods to reduce stress and support bud set.
- USDA Zones: 5 to 8.
- Mature Size: Typically about 4 to 6 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, with spread influenced by site and age.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use a small group as a spring focal point where the lavender-pink bloom can brighten a shady edge or entry view.
- Woodland Edges: Plant along tree lines in dappled light for a natural look and dependable seasonal color.
- Mixed Shrub Borders: Combine with broadleaf evergreens and spring perennials for layered structure and a clean spring peak.
- Massing: Repeat in drifts to create a fuller bloom display and a more continuous shrub layer after flowering.
- Foundation Planting: Place in protected foundation beds where filtered light and consistent moisture support long-term performance.
Low Maintenance Care
- Pruning: Prune lightly right after flowering to shape, since later pruning can remove next seasons flower buds.
- Mulching: Mulch to keep roots cool and moisture steady, keeping mulch a few inches away from the base of the stems.
- Watering: Water during summer dry spells, especially the first couple of seasons, to support healthier foliage and better flowering.
- Feeding: Feed in spring with an acid-loving shrub fertilizer if needed, following label directions.
- Winter Exposure: Site out of drying winter wind when possible to reduce stress and improve overall plant appearance.
Why Choose Korean Azalea?
- Cold-Hardy Performance: Reliable in cooler climates where many azaleas can be inconsistent.
- Spring Color: Lavender to rose-purple blooms deliver a classic azalea moment that feels natural in the landscape.
- Border-Filling Habit: Dense, mounded growth helps beds look more established and complete.
- Seasonal Interest: Fall color can shift toward orange and red-purple tones for added seasonal change.
- Easy to Repeat: Works well in groups for cleaner lines, fuller bloom impact, and a cohesive planting.
If you want an azalea that feels dependable and easy to design with, Korean Azalea is a strong choice. Focus on acidic, well-drained soil and consistent moisture while it establishes for the best long-term results. Plant it in dappled light where spring flowers glow and summer foliage stays clean. Over time, it becomes a reliable shrub layer that makes the whole planting feel more finished.

This is definitely not your average pillow protector!
You have to see and feel this pillow protector to understand just how good it is (photos and videos just don't do it justice). It looks and feels like some sort of fancy premium luxury pillow case, but it's a zippered pillow protector! I always thought pillow protectors were just a simple white cotton zippered pillow case in order to add another layer in addition to the pillow case, but this pillow protector from COOP Home Goods completely blows me away. I just kept going, "Omg, are you kidding me? This is just a pillow protector?! Wow!"
The only negative is, the zippered opening is too small. When I tried to put my brand new COOP pillow into it (I have the pillow that has approximately 15,000 reviews), it was very difficult. This was before I removed any of the filling for customization though, which I still needed to do. I finally got around to doing that and I probably removed about 1/3rd of the filling because I'm mostly a stomach sleeper, so I'm sure the pillow protector will be much easier to put on the next time I remove it, but I'm not going to remove it until I have to wash it because I don't want to be stuck trying to put it back on again! That's how annoying it was to put on. I'm keeping it though because I'm hoping it will mean I'll never have to wash the pillowcase or especially the pillow! That'd be awesome. I recently upgraded from a MyPillow Premium and I hated washing it (it was always a mini project, so I am hoping to be completely done with that).
I contacted COOP about the small opening and they said, "We do have plans to change the zipper placement on our pillow protectors, however, production has not started and we do not have a firm date to provide you with at this time." They also reminded me that the pillow can be "bent and manipulated" (their words) into the pillow protector. See next paragraph though to understand why I didn't want to handle the pillow too much, otherwise I would've just done that instinctively.
There is one more negative aspect that's worth mentioning, but it's due to a personal issue (there's nothing COOP can do about it). I have rough dry skin on my hands, and the material (40% Bamboo-derived Viscose Rayon, 60% Polyester) is rather 'catchy' on my hands. If you have rough dry skin and if you've ever tried to handle something made out of silk, you know what I'm talking about; you can't enjoy the silky smooth texture. This isn't anywhere near as bad as silk, but it's just bad enough that it's worth mentioning. I think it's due to the Bamboo-derived Viscose Rayon. The pillows are the same way for me due to the pillow case. That's probably what made the pillow case so difficult to put on because I was trying to be very careful not to get my skin flakes all over everything from just "manhandling" it, which is what I should've done and then just vacuumed it clean. heh I won't use lotion though because I don't like the idea of getting lotion on everything I touch every day, and it makes my hands sweat much easier - especially in the summer. So, I prefer to just deal with clean but rough dry hands.
I guess another negative thing could be that it's not possible to just buy 1 pillow protector. These are 2-packs. I only needed 1 pillow protector and I only wanted 1. I would've gladly paid $15 for just 1.
So anyway, beyond that, these pillow protectors truly have that "wow!" factor. They're exactly as advertised and more (because some things are only possible to know about by experiencing them for yourself).

Best pillow protector ive ever used!
Size: Body
I was afraid this pillow protector would inflate with air like every other pillow protector I've ever used (from super cheap to super not cheap). Man was I wrong! You can't even tell it's on the pillow and it doesn't take away from the squishy goodness of the pillow. I love these body pillow protectors so much I've ordered 5 so I'm never without! I also use their regular sized pillow protectors and it's the same exceptional quality. Coop home Good's outdid themselves with this one and I couldn't be happier. Body pillows are expensive and this is a good way for me to protect my investment without sacrificing any comfort! LOVE IT!
UPDATE: I've been using these for a few months now and they're just as soft now as the day I put them on. But I have finally given in to the fact that they're a tad troublesome getting on and off. When I first got them I washed them often and line dried (these take a long time to dry, you have to flip them inside out over and over to get them fully dried because the inside will hold the water from the washing machine). However over time I've found myself washing them less frequently because it takes all day to get them dry but also because I'm always nervous the zipper will break during put ons and take offs. You are supposed to squish your pillow into and out of the opening which obviously is very possible but there's no way to avoid putting stress on the zipper opening during this process. Another thing about these protectors is that the greyish strip along the sides is NOT water proof. So everytime I do take the protectors off i find new stains along the sides where the pillow had no protection. And I could be wrong but I think the non-water proof gusseted sides are an essential to the extreme comfort of these protectors so I can't be too picky (otherwise I believe these would inflate with air anytime pressure is applied). If I didn't have young children I probably would've never even realized the sides aren't waterproof. I would still take the coop Home Good's pillow protector with non water proof gusseted sides over the average pillow protector ANY DAY.

Good pillow protector
Size: Queen Size (Pack of 2)
Looks and feels very durable. Didn't notice and odor when opened or in use. Fits my Coop Home Goods pillow perfectly! Sleep quality is still good with these covers on.

Very nice but expensive
Size: Queen Size (Pack of 2)
I love these cases, they didn't let out as much air as I had hoped for out the sides so I only zip it up half way so my pillow stays squishy and moldable and not partially filled with air which changes the feel of your pillow. Other then that they are great, they are very soft and quite, there is no noise whatsoever and there is some thickness to it adding a little more softness to your pillow. I ended up buying a second set. I just wish it had a little more airflow through the sides so I didn't have to leave it unzipped, that kind of defeats the purpose. I also think they are a little more expensive then they should be.

Does not change the pillows effectiveness at all.
Size: King Size (Pack of 2)
As of right now, I have not noticed anything with these covers that would significantly alter the way the pillows feel. I'm greatful that they are not noisy as most other covers are. I also appreciate that they have very much the same feel as the covers that come on the pillows. One thing I can say so far with confidence is that even though this is an additional layer to my pillows, the original feeling, specially with the Eden cool+, has been the same in terms of coolness and breathability.
