Rhododendron periclymenoides

pinxterbloom azalea (Rhododendron nudiflorum)

Pinxterbloom azalea is delightful, small-statured azalea native to southern New England which inhabits moist acidic woods and streamsides, though it will tolerage a range of well-drained soils. When given consistent moist, organically rich soils, it will form a broad patch, spreading its delicate fragrance.
