Deciduous and Native Azaleas
Deciduous Azaleas are known by several names – rhododendron’s naked and fancy cousin, honeysuckle azaleas, native azaleas, and America’s azaleas. This is a group of plants known for their showy and often fragrant flowers. Perfect for a casual woodland setting, they have an attractive upright form and prefer lightly dappled shade and bright light. They are acid loving plants with shallow roots that like moist organic soil and good drainage.
