Sourwood is a smallish tree only typically getting to about 25' in height. I prefers full sun or part shade, moist soil conditions but can tolerate drought, and acidic soil high in organic matter. It has beautiful long drooping flowers that bloom from early to mid summer. Its leaves turn a vibrarnt red in the early fall. This is a favorite of bees and many other pollinators. It's also a host plant for many caterpillars including the Lettered Sphinx Moth.
