Azalea Girard's Hot Shot

The Girards Hot Shot Azalea displays a colorful and exciting show of small blooms in the spring! Single trumpet-shaped reddish-orange flowers, which are lightly scented and ruffled, blanket this beautiful shrub during the mid to late spring. Its small leaves hold their glossy green color before turning to orange-red in autumn. Girards Hot Shot is a densely compact shrub that matures to a rounded form. This azalea shrub is evergreen in mild climates and semi-evergreen in cooler climates. 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, Girards Hot Shot works well in mixed borders, in woodland gardens or in foundation plantings.
