Specialty grower of large, landscape quality native shrubs, perennials, & trees
William Bartram, in Travels (1791), said in the first description of the Flame Azalea, "This is the most gay and brilliant flowering shrub yet known." We agree, and made it our brand.

Rhododendron Maximum & Kalmia Latifolia
Selected and Dug To Order
Carolina Native Nursery horticulturalists select and tag every plant for your order. Only then do your plants get dug. This insures that your plants match, are the size you need, aren't loose, and are as fresh as possible. The fresher they are when you receive them, the better they will respond to transplanting, experience less shock, and look better in your clients landscape. Vastly superior than plants healed in for months. Rhododendron maximum (Rosebay Rhododendron) are available from 2-3' to 7-8', in regular grade and jumbo. Kalmia latifolia (Mountain Laurel) are available from 2-3' to 7-8' in regular and jumbo grade. Look at the pictures on our Facebook Page. Click on the catalog button above for pricing.
We also have a limited supply of native azaleas that we will start to dig soon. Rhododendron calendulaceum (Flame Azalea), Rhododendron arborescens (Sweet Azalea), Rhododendron periclymenoides (Pinxterbloom Azalea), ands Rhododendron vaseyi (Pinkshell Azalea) are some of the varieties we have avalaible. We have them in 3 gallon pots too.
Please contact us with any questions or for any information you need. We deliver everywhere.

Carolina Native Nursery is open for retail from 8:30 to 5:00 on Fridays 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. Cash or checks only please.
