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 atlanticum ex 'Snowbird' have been raised from seed from an outstanding deciduous azalea cultivar. The parent is a white-flowered hybrid of two american species, atlanticum and periclymenoides.
