(Caronella Rhododendron)

One of the shrimp-pink hybrid rhododendrons from the famed Weston Nurseries in Massachusetts, ‘Caronella’ is semi-deciduous, vigorous, upright in form and fast growing. The flowers are light pink with purple-pink markings which produce a striped effect. They are also marked with a yellow blotch. The foliage exhibits some fall color in shades of red, yellow and orange.

The beautiful, rounded shrubs are densely clothed in dark green, shiny foliage. The long leaves are elliptical, held alternately...

(Carla Hybrid Azalea, Carror Azalea, Evergreen Azalea)

The cheerful blooms of 'Carror' are large, semi-double and rich rosy pink.

The Carla azaleas were developed at an azalea breeding program at North Carolina State University. The complex hybrids were bred for disease-resistant and cold hardiness.

This medium-sized evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub is grown for its showy spring blooms. It has dark green, hairy leaves and its flowers are funnel-shaped with ruffled edges. The flower buds develop in summer for the following spring’s display,...

(Cary Ann Rhododendron, Rhododendron, Wright Hybrid Rhododendron)

Combining the virtues of compactness and prolific showy bloom, this hybrid rhododendron bears conical clusters of deep rose-pink, funnel-shaped flowers in mid-spring. It gradually forms a rounded waist-high shrub with attractive medium-sized dark green leaves.

Like most rhododendrons, 'Cary Ann' prefers highly organic acid soil that is evenly moist but well-drained. It departs from the norm, however, in tolerating full sun. Plant it shallowly and mulch well to conserve moisture and suppress...

(Cascade Azalea, Evergreen Azalea, Morrison Hybrid Azalea)

Bearing showy clusters of white, pink-flecked, semi-double blooms in early spring, 'Cascade' is one of the more than 400 evergreen azalea hybrids developed from the late 1920s through the 1940s at the United States Department of Agriculture’s Plant Introduction Station at Glenn Dale, Maryland. The flaring funnel-shaped blooms are hose-in-hose (with two "stacked" whorls of petals). They drop after fading rather than persisting on the plant. This broadly upright, chest-high shrub has rounded medium-...

(Catawba Rhododendron, Catawba Rosebay, White-flowered Catawba Rhododendron)

The white Catawba rhododendron has large, showy clusters, or trusses, of tubular, broad bell-shaped flowers that are pink in bud and open to white with green spotted throats. This medium-sized, dense, broadleaf evergreen shrub has large, glossy, dark green leaves that can suffer from sun and wind damage if left too exposed in the winter months. Most rhododendron thrive in sites with part shade and moist, acidic, highly organic soil that is perfectly drained. They are susceptible to a wide variety...

(Boursault Catawba Rhododendron, Catawba Rhododendron, Catawba Rosebay)

Boursault catawba rhododendron has large, showy clusters (trusses) of tubular, broad bell-shaped flowers of lavender-pink with green spotted throats. This medium-sized, dense, broadleaf evergreen shrub has large, glossy, dark green leaves that can suffer from sun and wind damage if left too exposed in the winter months. Most rhododendron thrive in sites with part shade and moist, acidic, highly organic soil that is perfectly drained. They are susceptible to a wide variety of fungal diseases and insect...

(Catawba Rhododendron, Catawba Rosebay, Large-flowered Catawba Rhododendron)

Large-flowered catawba rhododendron has large, showy clusters (trusses) of tubular, broad bell-shaped lilac flowers with a yellow-red blotch. This medium-sized, dense, broadleaf evergreen shrub has large, glossy, dark green leaves that can suffer from sun and wind damage if left too exposed in the winter months. Most rhododendron thrive in sites with part shade and moist, acidic, highly organic soil that is perfectly drained. They are susceptible to a wide variety of fungal diseases and insect pests...

(Evergreen Azalea)

Bearing showy clusters of white, lavender-streaked flowers in mid- to late spring, 'Cavatina' is one of the more than 400 evergreen azalea hybrids developed from the late 1920s through the 1940s at the United States Department of Agriculture’s Plant Introduction Station at Glenn Dale, Maryland.

Eventually forming a shoulder-high shrub, this broadly upright cultivar has rounded medium- to dark-green leaves. The broadly funnel-shaped single flowers are held on strong stems and drop after fading...

(Evergreen Azalea)

One of the so-called Indian hybrid azaleas, this evergreen shrub bears showy clusters of large red flowers from early to mid-spring. The broadly funnel-shaped blooms are unscented. The compact mounded plants have elliptic dark green leaves.

Hybrids derived from several East Asian species including Rhododendron simsii, R. indicum, and R. murconatum, Indian Group azaleas were first developed in the nineteenth century for greenhouse forcing, but they...

(Evergreen Azalea)

This Robin Hill azalea bears showy clusters of large pink to lavender-pink flowers in late spring. The wide-flaring funnel-shaped blooms are semi-double or double. The mounded, knee-high plants are densely furnished with small rounded glossy-green leaves.

A group of evergreen azaleas developed by Robert Gartrell of New Jersey, Robin Hill Hybrids combine the large flowers of tender azalea hybrids with the cold-tolerance of hardy hybrids.

Robin Hill azaleas prefer sites with partial shade...
