Evaluates eight provenances of three native azalea species (including Rhododendron viscosum) for cold hardiness. Rhododendron viscosum had the most cold hardy floret of the the three species. Ambient temperature before freezing may have more of an effect on cold injury than provenance.Suggested Citation
