Discover the enchanting beauty of Carolina Azalea, scientifically known as Rhododendron carolinianum, a cherished broadleaf evergreen known for its exquisite floral displays and robust foliage. Native to the scenic mountains of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, this distinctive shrub thrives in meadows, wooded areas, and streamsides. During May, it bursts into bloom, showcasing clusters of white, funnel-shaped flowers that are particularly alluring to bumble bees, adding vibrant life to your garden.

Carolina Azalea boasts glossy, dark-green leaves that transition to a purplish hue in the fall, maintaining its evergreen allure throughout the year. Its upright, spreading habit and rounded shape make it a favored choice for shrub borders, foundation plantings, and shaded sites. Typically reaching heights of 3 to 6 feet, it can grow in both shaded and sunlit areas, provided the soil is well-drained, cool, and acidic with high organic content.

This hardy plant can withstand the chill, with leaves that ingeniously curl in freezing temperatures, unrolling as they warm. However, it's best to avoid harsh winds and overly wet soils to prevent root rot. Carolina Rhododendron is not only a visual delight but also a sustainable choice for gardeners, allowing for propagation through seeds, cuttings, or tissue culture.
