Native Azaleas in Bloom

Carolina Native Nursery's azaleas are travelling all up and down the east coast looking for homes. And some of them are now being trialed in 3 provinces in China.

At the nursery and in the fields where our plants are grown, the buds are swollen and ready to go. Here is a review of some of them. This was written a few years ago by Ron Lance when he worked with us. You can find more of this article on our newsletter page.

We have the best crop of seed grown native azaleas and rhododendrons ever. Not only has the growing season in western North Carolina been great, with plenty of rain on a weekly basis and cooler temperatures, the growers here at Carolina Native constantly get better. Over the years, we have been able to grow azaleas from seed to a nice three gallon plant in 2 years. Through the use of Rootmaker technology, integration of organic methods in conjunction with standard nursery practices, and 10 years of experience, we have consistantly improved. This allows us to produce the finest and fattest nursery grown azaleas and rhododendrons in the business. It is also why you see our plants in the foremost public and private gardens in the country. Give us a call and let us wow you.

Carolina Native Nursery is open for retail from 8:30 to 5:00 Monday-Friday throughout the year. The fact that garden centers have such a limited selection of native shrubs, their staff possesses little knowledge of them, and they are not displayed as a group, makes a trip to see us certainly worthwhile. Plus our prices can't be beat. Take a moment to review our plant list before you come, or better yet print it out and make some notes. we really like cash..

Become a fan and check us out on Facebook.   Lots of plant pictures are available. Thanks.
