Rhododendron viscosum-Swamp azalea

Description

Native azalea growing in swamps and along lake shores, shade tolerant. Like so many of our wetland species this plant adapts well to upland garden soils, albeit growing a bit smaller; extra organic matter is appreciated to retain and moderate moisture levels. Ddelicate white flowers emerge in the spring; true to its namesake the leaves and flowers are covered in sticky viscous glands.
