The fragrant backbone of the native-azalea show. It grows wild along Georgia streambanks — this is the plant your conditions were made for.
Massed in drifts along the stroll path and the front tree line — never as single dots.
Acidic, humus-rich, evenly moist but never waterlogged. Mulch with leaf litter; little pruning needed.
Straight species; buy several for a true drift.
