Azalea Girard's Crimson

The Girards Crimson Azalea produces a showy display of color in the spring, making a big statement in any landscape! Prolific crimson-red flowers, which are lightly scented, blanket this beautiful shrub for about a month during the mid to late spring. Its large leaves hold their glossy green color before putting on a colorful show of red in autumn. Girards Crimson is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub that is dense, compact and hardy. If needed, it is best to prune immediately after flowering to avoid damage to the following spring's blooms. Perfect for use in mass plantings or as a single specimen, this shrub works well in mixed borders, in woodland gardens or in foundation plantings. Low maintenance.
