Flame Azaela

Flame Azalea (Rhododendron calendulaceum) is a showy deciduous shrub native to Appalachian woodlands, slopes, and mountain balds. In late spring and early summer, its large flower clusters open in shades of yellow, orange, and red. It grows best in acidic, well drained soil with dappled light or partial shade, where it can become a striking woodland garden specimen. The nectar rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
