Azalea (Azalea)
Color Name: Girard's Crimson
Glossy greens with bright rosy reds! Welcome spring with a burst of juicy, fruit-punch-colored blooms with the Girard's Crimson Azalea as it fills the mid-spring void with an explosion of blooms! Darker red spots, speckles, and blotches decorate each petal and add depth to the showy blooms and act like bullseyes for pollinators and Hummingbirds!
What's more, Girard's isn't content with just one flush of rosy-red flowers! After the mid-spring blooms, which just smother this plant, Girard's Azalea has a trick up their sleeves - surprise smaller flushes of blooms return periodically throughout the year!
Lush broad-leaved evergreen leaves are smooth and glossy while the dark-green color provides year-round color, even in the dreary months of winter! Girard's Crimson Azalea's lovely green hues are the perfect backdrop for its vibrant flowers! Making them really stand out!
Fall brings not just more flowers, but Girard's isn't done with their magic show yet either! Just as other plants are done for the year and ready to sleep for the winter, Girard's revs up for autumn with reddish and coppery fall color that tinges the glossy foliage through the colder parts of the year! This hardy Azalea is cold and heat-tolerant throughout USDA growing zones 5 to 8!
Growing Tips: Shallow, fibrous roots benefit from a layer of mulch.
Soil: Cool, acidic soils with abundant organic matter and good drainage are required.
Pruning: Rarely needed; Prune immediately after flowering in late spring by cutting branches to just above a set of leaves.
Uses: Woodland gardens; pollinator gardens; specimen; foundation plantings; mixed borders.
