It will be a foundation planting with a sidewalk on one side and the house on the other in a very narrow strip. It's very shady, so I think Itea will be a better choice for the spot. But I love Azaleas in their natural habitat. :)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-84904057141637536442016-04-28T10:12:11.203-04:002016-04-28T10:12:11.203-04:00Thanks for your help with ID of Lyreleaf Sage

I have a few azaleas from the Confederate series, which are nicely fragrant and attract butterflies, hummingbirds and clearwing moths.

Your Piedmont Azaleas are very beautiful. I don't know enough about Azaleas to say which kind exactly were at the Azalea Collection, but I'd guess they were a mix of the native and exotic species. No doubt some hybrids as well. Is there an easy way to tell them apart?Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671760671850555664noreply@blogger.com
