This species of plants originate in central China. The closely related species R. molle japonicum come from Japan. Both these deciduous varieties are relatives of the popular Ghent and Knapp Hill hybrids.
They are one of our favourite flowering plants with bold, colourful, spring blooms that are not hidden by lime green leaves that appear around flowering time.
A North American variety R. calendulaceum is called the “Flame azalea†due its fiery orange colours and autumn leafs. R. luteum is not surprisingly yellow.
