I purchase plants locally and online. I love azaleas because they remind me of Virginia where I grew up. I already had the same azalea I had purchased locally but I purchased three more from Sooner Plant Farm. These azaleas were so hardy when I received them and have continued to outperform my other locally purchased azaleas. These are the healthiest plants I have ever purchased online or locally.
I probably have 2 dozen azaleas in my yard and not compare to the three azaleas I purchased from Sooner Plant Farm
