A beautifully blooming azalea for those in cooler climates! Hino Crimson azalea is a Kurume hybrid with smaller leaves and shorter stature, making it a favorite of bonsai aficionados. Brilliant red blooms pop open early and continue through the spring season, creating a magnificent flower show in shady gardens. Semi-evergreen foliage is a lovely medium green for most of the year and provides some structure during the winter months. Like most azaleas, Hino Crimson is ideal for woodland gardens with a part sun/shade exposure. Plan to water more frequently as this azalea gets established, then regularly to maintain soil moisture. If it’s planted in a warmer climate, you may need to water more than once a week as those temperatures soar. Butterflies and bees will love this almost as much as you will!
