SHRUB: Rhododendron periclymenoides (Wild or Pinxterbloom Azalea)
#MGNV Tried and True #NativePlant Selections for the Mid-Atlantic
Wild Azalea’s showy flowers, which bloom just before or as its leaves emerge, make it a great substitute for overused non-native and hybrid azaleas or other traditional spring-flowering species. It is common throughout the Mid- Atlantic Region where it thrives in dappled sunlight.
