Azalea japonica ‘Hino-crimson’ Description

Azalea japonica ‘Hino-crimson’ is a compact, rounded evergreen azalea with small dark green leaves and an exceptionally generous spring display. Numerous small trumpet-shaped flowers open in vivid crimson-red shades, often covering the entire shrub during March, April or May depending on conditions. Growing to around 60cm high and 60 to 90cm wide, it is useful in small gardens, rockeries, ericaceous borders and containers. Plant in partial shade or gentle morning sun in moist but well-drained acidic soil. It is hardy in most Irish gardens, but early flowers benefit from shelter against late frost and strong wind. Avoid lime and do not allow container plants to dry out.
