Jeb Stuart features abundant large clusters of fragrant flowers with pink trumpets and red flags. The Native Azaleas (deciduous Rhododendrons) in the Confederate Series were bred for superior heat and humidity tolerance but will also handle temps down to -20 degrees F. A taller grower to 8 to 10 feet and about half as wide. Landscape & Garden Uses Growing 8 to 12 feet tall and about half as wide, the Jeb Stuart Native Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in woodland borders or other areas of the landscape that provide dappled shade and moist but well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Is also suitable for growing in large pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, pink theme gardens, Azalea gardens, woodland gardens, native plant gardens, and cottage gardens. Suggested Spacing: 10 feet or more apart for space between plants Growing Preferences The Jeb Stuart Native Azalea is easy to grow in moist but well-drained, humus rich soil and dappled shade or morning sun with afternoon shade. Once established it is quite drought tolerant, requiring supplemental water only during prolonged periods of dry summer weather. Native azaleas are very low-maintenance, requiring little if any pruning. That said, occasionally we might prune a stray branch that is growing way outside the natural form of the plant, but not so much that it would spoil the natural form of this beautiful shrub.
