Native Azaleas > Used in Landscapes
Lazy K Nursery, Pine Mountain, GA

The native azalea species of the southeastern United States have been called, by many plant authorities, "the most beautiful of our indigenous flowering shrubs." They offer the possibility of an almost continuous sequence of bloom from late March until September. In addition, native azaleas display a broad range of unusual flower colors and grow in a variety of heights and sizes.

Many of them provide intense fragrances along with their bloom. An added bonus is their handsome sculptural forms that highlight the winter landscape. All are winter hardy to USDA Zone 6; several will withstand even colder temperatures.
