Plants
Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids for healthy pollinators and planet, these shrubs for sun/part-shade will:
- Add year-round interest to your garden with loosely-branched stems, glossy foliage, fragrant blooms, and fall color.
- Support other wildlife species including birds, butterflies, moths, and bees.
- Never need chemicals and require less water once established.
The shrubs in the Azalea Twin Pack have shallow, fibrous root systems and can grow in sandy, loamy, or acidic soils that are well-drained but kept evenly moist and mulched. Sweet Azalea, also known as Rhododendron arborescens (arborescens means "tree-like"), can occasionally grow up to 20’ in height and spread. Be sure to select a planting site that will accommodate its mature size.
This collection includes keystone plants and supports:
- 33 native bee species
- 101 butterfly species
- 96% of backyard birds that rely on these insects to feed their young
- Dozens of other pollinators foraging for nectar
Also Includes: Garden design ideas and plant guidance from our pros.

Plants came to me quickly. I’m waiting for this 20 degree weather in south Ga to hurry on by so I can safely get them in the ground.

Thank you for your support and taking the time to share your experience!
United StatesPacking substandard
The plastic bags were loose around the pots & some of the dirt had fallen out. The plants were facing each other so “this end up” put one plant upside down. ID tags were missing on 2 plants. The plants themselves seemed to be in good condition.
