Gardeners in cooler climates, there is an azalea for you! Azalea Hino Degiri thrives beautifully in Zones 5–8, so no need to give up on having this exquisite spring bloomer in your garden. This lovely variety is compact, growing to just 3–4’ tall and wide, making it an exceptional choice for containers, groupings, and mass plantings in the border. Crimson red blooms cover the entire shrub, with the dark green leaves turning another shade of bright red in the winter. Like other azaleas, Hino Degiri prefers enriched, moist soil that is well-drained, partial sun (those dappled sun areas in your garden are perfect), and mulch to keep the roots cool. It’s an easygoing blooming shrub that not only creates springtime drama, it attracts pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds in the process.
