Evergreen Azaleas
Dr. Sandra McDonald Introductions

Dr. Sandra McDonald of Hampton, VA, has been hybridizing since the mid 1970s. For many years, she and her husband Ken operated LeMac Nurseries, a wholesale operation specializing in azaleas and rhododendrons. Sandra has introduced a number of outstanding evergreen azaleas, many of which we are able to offer here. She has also developed several excellent rhododendron hybrids that can be found in the Elepidote Rhododendron section of our plant sale.
