Deciduous Azalea Varieties (Species) Native
to the United States
The following table describes the different
native azalea varieties found
in the United States. For those
so inclined, there are Foreign
Deciduous Azalea Varieties that will cross with these American
species.
This chart is very helpful for those looking
to enjoy azaleas for more months
during the year. While
most deciduous azalea varieties
bloom around April-June, several
azalea plant varieties bloom
later, most notably R. cumberlandense
which blooms into July and R.
prunifolium and R. serrulatum
which can bloom into August and
September, respectively.
