A remarkable deciduous azalea with a sprawling native range that extends throughout the Appalachian Mountain region of eastern North America. Plants develop an irregular, loose mounding form extending 4-8' tall and 8-10' wide. Glowing, 2" tubular flowers appear in late May and range in color from yellow to oranges and reds. Native stands throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina are particularly attractive at this time as entire hillsides burst forth in an unparalleled mosaic of color. Early explorers are said to have been alarmed by this display who, upon viewing the vast stands in bloom, thought the forests were on fire! Obviously this is a worthy garden plant and one that should be considered for humus rich, evenly moist soil.
