Guaranteed to be a showstopper in your spring garden, the Clowning Around Native Azalea puts on a spectacular show for several weeks in early spring with its numerous clusters of snowball-shape, breathtakingly brilliant orange flowers, often blushed in red at the base. The pistil and red stamens extend about 1 inch beyond the mouth in a graceful upward curve. The flowers produce a delightful honeysuckle-like fragrance that is enjoyed by butterflies, hummingbirds and humans alike. Very lustrous dark green leaves turn orange-bronze in fall. The handsome leaves are exceptionally mildew free.Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
With an upright rounded irregular form from 8 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, the Clowning Around Native Azalea is perfect for use a specimen or in clusters in woodland borders or other shady to partially shaded areas. As this native azalea grows taller lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small specimen tree for use in home foundation plantings or landscape borders. Also useful in pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to azalea gardens, orange or yellow theme gardens, native plant gardens and cottage gardens.Â
