Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Bright yellow flowers that are flushed with red and with a golden blotch that gives an overall soft orange appearance. The flowers all sit in neat rounded clusters atop bare stems. The Southern Sunset Deciduous Azalea produces a gorgeous and fragrant spring show and it attracts butterflies and other spring pollinators. In the garden, the Aromi Deciduous Azalea Hybrids have the look, feel, and fragrance of many of, or are improvements upon, our most beautiful, US native deciduous azaleas, sometimes called Bush Honeysuckles, and yet are easy and vigorous enough for the average gardener to be successful with.
