Add Your Opinion About This Plant   shadygardener (78) wrote on Jul 10 2010 Rating for this plant: One of the loveliest native azaleas when in bloom. Very fragrant. Does need regular water to become established. I like this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead.
