Rhododendron prunifolium Drought Tolerant drawn by scent across surprisingThis native deciduous azalea is considered one of the finest of the American Azaleas. It has orange red to red flowers in July and August, much later than most native azaleas. It is a rare species found only in western Georgia and eastern Alabama where it grows along sandy ravines and along stream banks. It is the logo plant for the famous Callaway Gardens at Pine Mountain, Georgia which has done much to preserve and popularize this species. Culture
