Yellow Azalea

Yellow Azalea (Rhododendron luteum) is a deciduous shrub known for its bright yellow, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom in spring. Native to southeastern Europe and western Asia, it thrives in well-drained, acidic soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. The plant typically reaches 3 to 6 feet in height and has attractive dark green leaves. It is valued for its ornamental appeal in gardens and landscapes. However, it can be somewhat invasive in certain regions, spreading via suckers and seed dispersal, so responsible planting and management are recommended.
