Clowning Around Native Azalea puts on a spectacular show for several weeks in early spring with its numerous clusters of snowball-shape, breathtakingly brilliant orange flowers, often blushed in red at the base. The pistil and red stamens extend about 1 inch beyond the mouth in a graceful upward curve. The flowers produce a delightful honeysuckle-like fragrance that is enjoyed by butterflies, hummingbirds and humans alike. Very lustrous dark green leaves turn orange-bronze in fall. The handsome leaves are exceptionally mildew free.
Clowning Native Azalea is very easy to grow in moist but well-drained, humus rich soil and dappled shade or morning sun with afternoon shade. Once established it is quite drought tolerant, requiring supplemental water only during prolonged periods of dry summer weather. Native azaleas are very low-maintenance, requiring little if any pruning.
With an upright rounded irregular form from 8 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, Clowning Around Native Azalea is a ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in partially shaded landscape borders, home foundation plants and woodland borders.
Azalea's are toxic To Dogs. Chewing into this plant will release these crystals causing tissue penetration & irritation to the mouth & oral cavity. Unfortunately not deer resistant.
