These deciduous azaleas include both species and hybrids, mainly originating in America. We are particularly grateful to Mike Creel of North Carolina for seed, much of it from his own hand-pollinated plants.
Rhododendron 'Fireball' has impressive trusses of 15-20 long-lasting, intense red flowers. The foliage changes from green to burgundy-red in the autumn.
