Rhododendron Nancey Waterer

Nancy Waterer Ghent Hybrid Azalea

Nancy Waterer is a deciduous azalea with green leaves and bright golden-yellow flowers marked with a deeper orange-yellow throat. The fragrant flowers appear around late spring or early summer, with timing varying by location.

Choose a sheltered site in sun or partial shade. It prefers acidic, humus-rich soil that stays moist while draining well. Give the broad shrub room to develop in a mixed border.
