Rhododendron austrinum
A native of the south-eastern USA, from Georgia and N. Florida to S.E. Mississippi, this deciduous azalea forms a large shrub to about 3m high, bearing clusters of softly hairy, musky-sweet scented pale to deep-yellow or orange flowers in April-May, before or with the leaves; each with a dark-pink cylindrical tube 2cm long. Rarely offered for sale, like so many excellent species Rhododendron. For acid soil in sun or semi-shade. Relatively drought and particularly heat tolerant and therefore a winner in our changing UK climate.
