Rating for this plant:
One of the loveliest of all native azaleas when in bloom. Very fragrant. Needs regular water to become established, but survives periods of drought once established. Water regularly in late summer when bloom buds are forming for the following spring. Bloom time can be anytime in March or April depending on the weather temperatures.
