Azalea 'Girard's Crimson'
Rhododendron x 'Girard's Crimson'
1 gallon pot
 
Beautiful, very large, rosy-red crimson flowers bloom in spring. Its dense, compact habit with glossy evergreen foliage add year-round interest. A great accent plant for a dappled sun to open shade landscape setting. Ideal for massing on north or east facing, sloped sites. Works well in containers. Following mid-spring blooms, smaller flushes of blooms return periodically throughout the year. Reddish and coppery color leaves in the fall.
