Azalea schlippenbachii
The Royal Azalea in its glory is an unforgettable sight. Just as the leaves emerge in early May, clusters of very large (2–4in across), lightly fragrant, soft pink flowers appear, instantly charming all who see them. In fall, the broad, oval leaves turn a stunning orange-red. The Royal Azalea grows very slowly and seems to appreciate a higher pH (6.5–7.0) than do most other Azaleas. In time, it forms a broad, vase-shaped shrub. Native to Manchuria and Korea. Height: 4–5ft, eventually exceeding 6ft under ideal conditions. Hardy to –25°F.

Azalea vaseyi
Pinkshell Azalea. Clusters of pretty, pale pink blooms sparkle from bare stems in mid-May. The flowers of most native species are tubular, but those of A. vaseyi open almost flat, so they’re exceptionally showy. The foliage is mid-green in summer, turning a lovely shade of maroon in fall. Plants have a more or less upright habit. Height: 4–6ft. Hardy to –20°F.

Azalea viscosum
Swamp Azalea. Here’s one of the few exceptions to the rule that says that Azaleas must have good drainage. This species thrives in heavy, wet soil, though it performs just fine in average soil, too. The flowers, which appear in mid- to late June, are white (occasionally tinged pink), and they have a delicious spicy fragrance. Deciduous foliage has a blue overcast with a loose, open habit, and spread by stolons, which makes them ideal for naturalizing. Height: 6–12ft. Hardy to –25°F.
