Sweet Azalea
Sweet Azalea (Rhododendron arborescens) is a delightful and aromatic deciduous shrub prized for its fragrant blooms and striking appearance. Typically growing 6 to 10 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, this elegant plant is ideal for woodland gardens, borders, or as a standout specimen. In late spring to early summer, Sweet Azalea produces clusters of exquisite, funnel-shaped white to pale pink flowers with prominent red stamens and a sweet, spicy fragrance reminiscent of heliotrope. The glossy green foliage turns a vibrant reddish-orange in the fall, adding seasonal interest to the landscape. Hardy in USDA zones 4-7, Sweet Azalea thrives in partial shade to full sun and prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Its captivating scent, attractive blooms, and beautiful fall color make Sweet Azalea a cherished addition to any garden setting, offering year-round charm and sensory delight.
