Description
Commonly known as swamp azalea, is a loose, upright-spreading, deciduous woody shrub that typically grows to 3-5′ (less frequently to 8′) tall and bears funnel-shaped, white flowers, often tinged pink, with long slender tubes. Best grown in acidic, humusy, well-drained loams in part shade. This species of azalea is tolerant of moist to wet soils including ones with somewhat poor drainage (its native habitat is swampy lowland areas).
