This deciduous azalea blooms for five months of the year. From spring into early fall large red flowers continually appear providing a stunning contrast to dark green foliage. Staying relatively compact it is also a good shrub for small spaces and areas where a shade loving plant is needed. Part sun or part shade tend to be just the right amount of light. It is a disease resistant plant, but adequate mulch should be maintained to keep the soil moist and continually improve the quality of the ground.
