R. (azalea) Deciduous DECIDUOUS AZALEAS
Our offerings are heavily weighted toward American native species and their hybrids. These native species are resistant to the powdery mildew that plagues other deciduous azaleas such as the Exbury hybrids, and thrive in the heat and humidity of the Southeast, where many are native. We grow many species seedlings and have been selecting superior forms. What becomes more apparent to us every year is that native azalea species are in a constant state of flux (dare we say "evolving?"), and many clones considered to be a specific species may have a touch of other species in their back- ground.Regardless of their genetic background, these deciduous azaleas are wonderful garden plants that combine color and fragrance; many blooming in summer after the "big show" of Spring has passed. Some offer an autumn display as well. Either sun or dappled shade, and well-drained, acidic soil is necessary for most of these species, but not all. R. viscosum is native to swampy areas, and R. arborescens likes a damp site as well. Other species such as R. prinophyllum and R. canadense thrive in the cool climate of the Northeast. Some species such as R. atlanticum, are stoloniferous, meaning they send out underground stems that eventually form large clumps.
We offer selections and hybrids from a number of sources, including Earl Sommerville of Atlanta and Clarence Towe, a long-time native plant observer and collector of superior forms in our Southeastern mountains. The named selections of species and hybrids are propagated by cuttings or by tissue culture methods which ensures that they are true to name. Most of our species plants are grown from seed gathered in the wild by knowledgeable collectors, and should display the characteristics of the "true" species. Please contact us if you are interested in larger quantity pricing and availability.
The (*) in front of a size indicates it is grown in a 6 to 11 gallon container or balled and burlapped (B&B) with a much larger root system than a similarly sized 3-gallon pot. Additional shipping charges are necessary. Some plants may be too large to ship and are available for nursery pick-up only. We will contact you if your plants are too large to ship.
