NATIVE AZALEAS 
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 into select, stocky 
plants, which are far superior to those often offered 
as collected from woodland. 
In Baker County, Georgia, we collected the 
clearest yellow forms of Azalea austrina which is 
rare, and in extreme Southwestern Georgia and 
Southeastern Alabama we secured the best types of 
the highly fragrant Azalea alabamensis. Other 
native varieties were collected in South and Central 
Georgia. Native Azaleas bloom late, thus extending 
the Azalea season far into April. Being native, they 
have withstood every extreme of temperature for 
generations, and for the dependability and beauty 
should find a place in every garden where Azaleas 
are used. 
Azalea austrina. This beautiful Azalea is found 
in Northwestern Florida to Central Georgia. All 
we offer this year are the best shades of yellow, 
the finest types of this species. At Hjort’s Azalea 
Woodland attracts more attention than any other 
variety. 
A. alabamensis. A highly fragrant and very scarce 
native Azalea. White, or white with yellow spot. 
Very choice and desirable. 
A. calendulacea. Native in Central Georgia to 
the Carolinas, but fairly well adapted to Southern 
Georgia. Large flame-red flowers.
