Native Azaleas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(rhododendron)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Native azaleas aren’t hard to grow by any means, but they are a bit less forgiving than their evergreen counterparts. Although some species grow in wet soil, most like good drainage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The native azalea area of the Gardens was expanded significantly in 2021 with a generous gift by Earnest Koone III, owner of Lazy K Nursey<\/a> in Pine Mountain, GA. This gift includes 3-5 examples of each azalea species native to Alabama. Watch and sniff with us as these azaleas bring new beauty and fragrance to the Gardens from early spring through early fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
