Rhodendron calendulaceum, Flame Azalea; most well known of all the azaleas. Yellow to orange to red. Some of the largest native azalea blooms in June.
We have been mapping fine forms of Rhododendron calendulaceum in the Northern Peaks of North Carolina for several years. These plants have produced vigorous and relatively true seedling crops. It is believed that R. calendulaceum tends to self pollinate due to the size of the anatomical parts of the flowers.
