Description
A beautiful Piedmont Azalea that starts blooming at a very young age, the Varnadoe’s Phlox Pink Rhododendron is a time tested, heat and humidity tolerant native azalea that produces full trusses of large, fragrant, bright to light pink flower buds that open to soft pink to white honeysuckle-like trumpet flowers that light up and fill the garden with a wonderful, spicy aroma. Plant this one near windows or close to patios, decks and other outdoor living spaces where the beautiful flowers and fragrance can be enjoyed.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 10 to 12 feet tall and equally as wide, the Varnadoes Phlox Pink 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. Can be grown as a shrub or lower branches removed to form a highly attractive small tree. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, pink theme gardens, Azalea gardens, woodland gardens, native plant gardens, and cottage gardens.
Spacing: We do not suggest planting this beauty as a hedge. Space plants 14 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, 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
Varnadoes Phlox Pink 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 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.

My plant arrived in a very short period of time and was in great shape! I have ordered many plants from Wilson Bros. and have always been happy with the product and the ordering process. I really appreciate the fact that the price that is shown is the total price and there are no add ons. I wish there were more 1 and 2 gal. pots because I enjoy planting the smaller plants since they are easier to handle. I have planted my azalea and it looks great!———————————————I like small sized pots also, they are just not always available. But we are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
