Description

The Nancy Native Azalea, a cross hybrid of Rhododendron calendulaceum and Rhododendron flammeum, dominates the landscape with its abundant clusters of stunning orange to golden orange flowers. The large clusters of 15 or more funnel-shaped flowers with showy stamens to 2 inches long bloom in early to mid spring as the leaves first begin to emerge.


Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 7 to 8 tall and 5 to 6 feet wide, the Nancy Native Azalea is perfect for use a specimen or in clusters in woodland borders or other shady to partially shaded areas. As this native azalea grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small specimen tree for use in home foundation plantings or landscape borders. Also useful in pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to azalea gardens, orange theme gardens, native plant gardens and cottage gardens. 

Suggested Spacing:  We do not recommend as a hedge. Plant 10 feet or more for space between plants


Growing Preferences

Nancy Native Azalea is very easy to grow. It prefers moist but well-drained humus rich soil and dappled shade or morning sun with afternoon shade. Once established it is quite drought tolerant requiring supplemental water only during prolonged periods of dry summer weather. Native azaleas are very low-maintenance requiring little if any pruning. That said, occasionally we might prune a stray branch that is spoiling the natural form of the plant.
