    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Native to the eastern United States with white flowers, often flushed a lovely soft pink and very fragrant! This stoloniferous shrub sometimes sends shoots underground to form a new plant. Growing in a mounding form with flowers that sparkle pink and white, this is certainly one of the more charming native azaleas. A delicate, airy beauty. (PE, pe, Pentathera)
