Description

Hino Crimson Azalea is a beloved, classic evergreen shrub celebrated for its incredibly vibrant and profuse spring bloom. This compact, low-growing plant becomes a solid mass of intense, fiery crimson-red flowers in mid-spring, completely obscuring its small, glossy green foliage. Its dense, twiggy habit and reliable, eye-catching color have made it a staple for foundation plantings, low borders, and mass plantings in shaded gardens for decades.

Vibrant Crimson Spring Display: Produces an exceptional profusion of small, bright crimson-red flowers that create a stunning, uniform blanket of color.
Dwarf & Compact Habit: A true low-grower, forming a dense, spreading mound typically 2-3 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide.
Reliable & Time-Tested: One of the most popular and widely planted azalea cultivars due to its hardiness and consistent performance.
Ideal for Foundations & Borders: Perfect for lining walkways, under low windows, or at the front of shaded shrub borders.
Easy-Care for Acidic Soils: Requires standard azalea care: partial shade, acidic, well-drained soil, and consistent moisture.

Faqs

Q: How do I keep it compact and flowering heavily?
A: Prune lightly, if needed, immediately after flowering to shape. This allows time for new growth to mature and set buds for next year. Ensure it is not in too much deep shade, which can reduce flowering.

Q: Is it suitable for a container?
A: Yes, it is excellent for containers due to its small size. Use an acidic potting mix and ensure the pot has good drainage. This allows for easy soil pH management.
