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 growing way outside the natural form of the plant, but not so much that it would spoil the natural form of this beautiful shrub.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelpful Articles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClick on the link below to find helpful advice from our experts on how to plant and care for native azaleas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Plant \u0026amp; Care For Native Azaleas \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe are proud members of the ASA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003cspan\u003eContact Us\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMy Mom had a native azelia on her property., that was at least 55 yrs old. I have searched for one to own for years. I went to local dealers in Pa. With zero luck. They were often not sure what I was even describing. Then looking through Wilson Bros. Garden sight I located what has taken me 70; years to find.. I wanted a 3 gal. Size figuring it was more established, and they did not disappoint.. I know they bloom in the spring and I asked for the shipment to be delayed by 2 weeks and to please leave some buds on for me to see. Their nursery did everything I asked.. Fedex delivered a well protected 4 ft box. When I opened iit, it was absolutely perfect! Still blooming, beautiful branching, healthy Varnadoe Phlox Pink Native Azelia, sometimes in our area called Mountian Azelia’s.. perfect, it brought a huge smile to see a part of my childhood ready to plant in my yard. I called twice with questions and found a pleasant person answering. I called back to say I received my tree .and to let them know it was just what I had hoped for. I would recommend this website. They carry some hard to find items. Their company was pleasant to Oder from.---------------------------------------------Thanks for the photo!

We hope you enjoy this beauty for years to come. Let us know if there's ever anything else we can help you with. - Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe plant is beautiful, but I ordered a pink one and this one is white. I was very disappointed. ----------------- WBG Reply: Hi Lavada - We are so sorry to hear you are disappointed with the color of this native azalea. Varnadoes Phlox Pink is a selection of the Rhododendron canescens species, which typically ranges in color from pink to white. That said, Varnadoe's Phlox Pink was named such because the flower buds and the outer flower parts are medium to light pink. As shown in the pictures on this page, which were taken at our nursery, when open the inner parts of the flower are typically a soft pink to white color. In any event, we want our customers to be happy with their purchase. If you contact Spencer Young by phone (770)573-1778 or email us at [email protected], if you want, we can arrange to ship you out a different native azalea variety that has more pink in the flower at no charge. We can't promise the plant will be the same size as the Varnadoes. Don't hesitate to contact us. - Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003edoing well - --------- WBG Reply: Hi Tony - Very glad to hear!
