Fragrant white flowers with red stamens bloom in early summer, filling the air with a sweet scent. This deciduous native shrub features glossy green foliage that turns red in autumn.

Plant Sweet Azalea in well-drained, acidic soil. Choose a location with partial shade to protect from harsh afternoon sun. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release, acid-loving plant fertilizer. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Protect from strong winds and extreme temperatures.
