Deciduous Native Azalea

Earl Sommerville Native Azalea

Zones 5b-9

‘Earl’s Gold’ is a beautiful native selection by Earl Sommerville of Marietta, Ga. ‘Earl’s Gold’ native Azalea is a Rhododendron austrinum, as the taxonomists now call it. Earl found ‘Earl’s Gold’ as an open pollinated seedling that had great vigor and a good bloom. In 10 years, ‘Earl’s Gold’ may reach 7-8 ft in height by 4 ft in width. The spring golden yellow flowers cluster together to create a larger bloom that adds quite a bit of color in the spring garden. If you love native azaleas, this golden selection is a great easy-to-grow native for your landscape.
