Transform your garden with the vibrant charm of Rhododendron calendulaceum, commonly known as Flame Azalea. This stunning deciduous shrub is native to the Appalachian Mountains, flourishing on woodland slopes from Pennsylvania to Georgia. Known for its fiery blooms ranging from yellow to red, Flame Azalea is a breathtaking addition to any landscape.

Ideal for growing in acidic, well-drained soils, this shrub prefers part shade or dappled sunlight, making it perfect for mixed or woodland gardens. Standing at 4-8 feet in height with a similar spread, it can become a striking focal point or a delightful member of a shrub border. While Flame Azalea is resilient against rabbit browsing, it requires protection from intense afternoon sun and winter winds.

Come late spring, its rich, nectar-filled blossoms attract pollinators, inviting butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds into your space. Beyond its springtime splendor, Flame Azalea offers year-round interest with its fascinating bark and variable fall foliage. Enhance your outdoor setting with this remarkable, slow-to-establish shrub, which thrives in USDA Zones 5-7.
