AZALEA AUSTRINA 
Native rbzaleas 
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 dependability and beauty should find a place in 
every garden where Azaleas are used.
