Rhododendron prunifolium is also called the plumleaf azalea.
The flower color ranges from orange to red.
It has smooth, large leaves that grow early in the season.
The stem is also smooth, along with the flower tubes.
A bush of the plumleaf azalea can grow up to more than 20 feet.
 This plant only grows in eleven counties on the border of Alabama and Georgia where creeks and ravines are present, blooming from July to September.
Sometimes this species has pink flowers, which could be a hybrid with the sweet azalea.
