Varnadoes Phlox Pink Native Azalea – Rhododendron Canescens – 3 Gallon Pot

My Mom had a native azelia on her property., that was at least 55 yrs old. I have searched for one to own for years. I went to local dealers in Pa. With zero luck. They were often not sure what I was even describing. Then looking through Wilson Bros. Garden sight I located what has taken me 70; years to find.. I wanted a 3 gal. Size figuring it was more established, and they did not disappoint.. I know they bloom in the spring and I asked for the shipment to be delayed by 2 weeks and to please leave some buds on for me to see. Their nursery did everything I asked.. Fedex delivered a well protected 4 ft box. When I opened iit, it was absolutely perfect! Still blooming, beautiful branching, healthy Varnadoe Phlox Pink Native Azelia, sometimes in our area called Mountian Azelia’s.. perfect, it brought a huge smile to see a part of my childhood ready to plant in my yard. I called twice with questions and found a pleasant person answering. I called back to say I received my tree .and to let them know it was just what I had hoped for. I would recommend this website. They carry some hard to find items. Their company was pleasant to Oder from.———————————————Thanks for the photo! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I’ve ordered two of these azaleas at different times of the year b/c the first one was so robust. The second a little less robust upon arrival but both very well packed and in good condition. I’ve already recommended WBG to my sister who is also an avid gardener and she has already placed an order.—————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

I ordered two native azaleas (this and the magenta rose flame) in early may, and both have growing very happily in my garden for the past 6 weeks. They arrived In such good condition, as did all the other plants I received; and they were already so large. I should also add that they were sent as replacements for two (cheaper) out of stock items at no extra cost. I am so impressed with the quality and customer service of Wilson bros and will definitely be ordering again.——————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

The plant is beautiful, but I ordered a pink one and this one is white. I was very disappointed. —————– WBG Reply: Hi Lavada – We are so sorry to hear you are disappointed with the color of this native azalea. Varnadoes Phlox Pink is a selection of the Rhododendron canescens species, which typically ranges in color from pink to white. That said, Varnadoe’s Phlox Pink was named such because the flower buds and the outer flower parts are medium to light pink. As shown in the pictures on this page, which were taken at our nursery, when open the inner parts of the flower are typically a soft pink to white color. In any event, we want our customers to be happy with their purchase. If you contact Spencer Young by phone (770)573-1778 or email us at [email protected], if you want, we can arrange to ship you out a different native azalea variety that has more pink in the flower at no charge. We can’t promise the plant will be the same size as the Varnadoes. Don’t hesitate to contact us. – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
