Hjort’s Superior Native Azaleas 
Azalea canescens 
Varieties of Native Azaleas 
AZALEA austrina. This beautiful Azalea 
is found in northwestern Florida to Central 
Georgia. Flame is the usual color, but some 
are almost red, and we have a limited stock 
of yellow. When ordering Austrina state 
colors desired. We highly recommend 
this Azalea. 
A. alabamiensis. A highly fragrant and 
very scarce native Azalea. White or white 
with yellow spot. Very desirable. 
A. calendulacea. Native in central Georgia 
to the Carolinas, but fairly well adapted 
to southern Georgia. Large flame to red 
flowers. 
A. canescens. The most common of the 
native Azaleas and is found throughout 
southern Georgia and northern Florida, 
growing on moist but well-drained soil. 
Light pink. Blooms a little earlier than 
other native Azaleas. 
A. speciosa. A central Georgia Azalea with 
large flowers in varying shades of pink. 


Some of the loveliest colors in 
Azaleas are found in our hardy native, 
deciduous varieties. For years we 
have diligently collected the finer 
types, cut them back and grown them 
over into select, stocky plants, which 
are far superior to those usually 
offered direct from the woods. 
In Baker County, Georgia, we 
collected a yellow form of Azalea 
austrina which Is rare, and in extreme 
southwestern Georgia and southeast- 
ern Alabama we secured the best 
types of the highly fragrant A. 
alabamiensis. In Middle Georgia 
we have collected good types of A. 
austrina, A. speciosa and some 
A. calendulacea. Native azaleas are 
perfectly hardy, and they bloom late, 
extending the flowering season far 
into April. They should find a 
place in every Azalea garden.
