Deciduous Azaleas 
These are among the finest of all Azaleas. Although the plants 
shed their leaves in winter, they are attractive then, too. They are 
hardier than evergreen varieties, and in general require less care. In 
rock gardens and naturalistic plantings deciduous Azaleas make 
themselves at home. 
CALENDULACEA. Flame Azalea. A native of our Carolina 
mountains where it sometimes reaches a height of 15 feet, though 
» to 10 feet is the average. Bears beautiful orange and bright 
gold flowers, as well as yellow and cream colors. It can endure 
rather dry soil. Flowers are at their best in May and June. 
MOLLIS. Chinese Azalea. Delicate shades of yellow, terra-cotta, 
apricot, and golden salmon. Blooms in April and May, and is not 
too particular about growing conditions. The plant is spreading 
in its habit of growth, and attains a height of 3 to 5 feet. Does 
best in partial shade, such as in a porch foundation planting, or in 
the foreground of larger shrubs. Quite hardy.
