Snowbird Fragrant Coastal Azalea (Rhododendron Atlanticum) – 2 Gallon Pot

Other Names: Snowbird Coast Azalea, Snowbird Native Azalea

An easy-to-grow North American native, ‘Snowbird’ is one of if not the most fragrant of the fragrant of Azaleas growing in our gardens. It is a hybrid cross selected by Biltmore Gardens of Rhododendron atlanticum and Rhododendron canscens, which explains its flower color and potent sweet fragrance. In mid spring it features profuse clusters of delicate, trumpet shaped, pink-flushed white flowers that will fill a garden with a wonderfully sweet aroma, which is sure to draw in and also please the butterflies. Fall brings a second color show when the handsome blue-green foliage transitions to beautiful orange, red and yellow shades. Thriving in both coastal and inland sunny to partially shaded gardens,Snowbird forms a rounded natural-looking shrub 4 to 6 feet tall and equally as wide over time. An annual light pruning after flowering can be performed for size control to fit smaller garden spaces or when grown in containers. So wonderfully fragrant!
