Description

Sure to light up the spring landscape, the Solar Glow Sunbow Azalea is a deciduous Rhododendron producing abundant clusters of  orange flowers with shades of red and yellow. The flowers have a deliciously sweet, honeysuckle-like fragrance. Perfect for woodland borders and partially shaded areas of the garden.


Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, the Solar Glow Sunbow Native Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in woodland borders or other areas of the landscape that provide dappled shade and moist but well-drained soils rich in organic matter. A fine selection for containers, fragrance gardens, orange theme gardens, Azalea gardens, woodland gardens, native plant gardens, and cottage gardens. 

Suggested Spacing:  5 feet apart for hedge or solid grouping; 10 feet apart for space between plants

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this native azalea variety is not winter hardy, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.


Growing Preferences

The Solar Glow Sunbow Native Azalea is very easy to grow in 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, but not so much that it would spoil the natural form of this beautiful shrub.
