Wild Orange Azalea Bush

The woods are bursting with color!

This is a gorgeous wild Orange Azalea Bush. Also know as Mountain Azalea, Wild Azalea and Honeysuckle Azalea. It has showy fragrant flowers.

 

They are woody shrubs that thrive in semi-shade and their twigs are reddish-brown in the winter. They usually grow 8-10 feet high and bloom during March,  April and May. Wooded bluffs and woodland streams are their native habitat


 

 

 

 

 

  

Hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies are attracted to the sweet smelling clusters of flowers.
