This slow-growing, upright shrub produces an abundance of small, funnel-shaped, trumpet-like flowers in a stunning, deep ruby-red to crimson, often with a darker blotch in the throat, appearing in dense clusters in mid-spring . The small, leathery, glossy dark green leaves provide a lush, elegant backdrop for the vibrant blooms, creating a striking contrast. With excellent tolerance for partial to full shade, a tidy, upright habit, and reliable cold hardiness, it is an outstanding choice for foundation plantings, woodland gardens, shaded borders, mass plantings, containers, and as a low hedge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victory Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":44092347580504,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8000\/6232\/files\/Image_jpeg_3d155551-4622-4fdb-aba4-0b88e9bb2910.png?v=1778586383","url":"https:\/\/victorynursery.us\/products\/azalea-kurume-wards-ruby","provider":"Victory Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
