A large deciduous shrub perfect for moist woods, swampy edges, and stream banks. Typically 6-8 feet tall in gardens, it can occasionally reach 10-15 feet. In early spring, it dazzles with clusters of fragrant, pink (or rarely white) funnel-shaped flowers. Its gray-fuzzy, dull green leaves add to its charm. After blooming, it forms intriguing half-inch woody capsules. Ideal for native plant lovers and pollinators alike!

Growing Tips for Azalea canescens

For best results, plant in acidic, humusy, well-drained soil in part shade or dappled sunlight. Protect from winter winds and avoid full sun to prevent foliage scorch. Maintain consistent moisture but avoid waterlogged soil. Mulch with wood chips, bark, or pine needles to retain moisture. Prune spent flowers after blooming, and expect gradual spread through root suckers.
