I recently purchased R. viscosum 'Summer Eyelet' which blooms later than most native azaleas, June/July. I'm trying to decide where to plant this one. It needs to stay moist.

Got some this year. Flowers are a beautiful white, very nice form, and they are indeed fragrant. Good for a partially shaded, moist location.
