This is a dwarf evergreen species with funnel-shaped white to pale pink flowers in late winter/early spring. An epiphytic species in the wild and one of the first to bloom each spring. Easy in sun or shade with sufficient drainage and relatively drought tolerant once established. This is the white form with reddish flecks that blooms a bit earlier in the season than the more commonly cultivated pink forms. Large plants this year.
An outstanding dwarf form of this variable species. This is a selected clone collected by Warren Berg from the top of Cheju Island, Korea. This plant has a dense dwarf habit, small dark green leaves and rose-purple flowers in early spring. Quite tough and adaptable. Very slow-growing and suitable for bonsai with excellent fall color.
This is one of the finest species in cultivation, forming a rounded to rather upright evergreen shrub. This is a selected form with brightly glaucous-blue foliage. Always reliable, free-blooming, and like all trifloras, does not need to be dead-headed. Pinkish flowers in mid-spring. Easy to grow and best in light shade.
A fine selection of the native "Pinxterbloom azalea" a common and widespread species native to forests and mountains in the eastern US. This cultivar features stunning flowers of pure white (they are typically rose or purplish) with a light fragrance. Easy and reliable in most gardens - sun or light shade. Our first offering of this outstanding plant which was found growing wild in the forests of North Carolina.
A choice dwarf species that seems to be an intermediate between its close relatives moupinense and dendrocharis. In habit, foliage and flower it is much smaller than the first and a bit larger than the second. Small and rounded, shiny and hairy leaves. The white blushed pink flowers are very similar to the familiar moupinense but a bit smaller. A stunning dwarf species that requires excellent drainage.
A newly introduced species that appears to be quite rare in the wild. This is a strong grower and will probably end up being a very large plant in the garden. Very large, glossy and hairy leaves (almost bristly looking – very different from anything else that I have seen). The original introduction (JN#) has bloomed here with very large and white, lightly fragrant flowers (in mid-spring) proving it is actually a Fortunea and not a member of subsection Maculifera as was assumed. These are grown from hand pollinated seed produced here in the garden. Best in light shade or woodland conditions. One of the finest new introductions in the past decade or more.
An easily grown large shrubby species with smooth and shiny, deep green foliage. The flowers (early summer) are typically in various shades of purple. A great species for light to deep shade in our climate. Very tough and a great source of color after the rush of spring bloom. This selection with strikingly variegated foliage.
A relatively hardy "big-leaf", the distinct foliage of this species is very attractive and cannot be confused with any other species. The leaves have a unique, shiny and copper colored, plastered indumentum on the lower surface of the leaves which also have a broadly winged and tapering petiole. The flowers (early spring) are white to pink or magenta-rose, usually spots and/or a blotch. Best in light shade. These are grown from seed collected in the wild.
