Pinxterbloom occurs naturally along streams and in bogs in light woods. It is well adapted, though, to drier, rocky soils. Mid to late spring flowers are 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide, are borne in trusses of 6 to 12, and appear just before the leaves emerge. The delicate petals curl back exposing long stamens and styles. Flowers range from soft pink to dark pink and are sweetly scented and very beautiful. Growing to about 6 feet tall, it is more densely branched than other deciduous azaleas and spreads by stolons or underground runners. It is a terrific choice for naturalizing in moister areas.
