Radiant Red Aromi Azalea (Rhododendron Hybrid) – 2 Gallon Pot

---

Growing 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, Radiant Red Deciduous Azalea is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in woodland borders or other areas of the landscape that provide moist but well-drained soils rich in organic matter. A fine selection for fragrance gardens, Azalea gardens, woodland gardens, red theme gardens, and cottage gardens. 

Suggested Spacing:  We do not suggest planting this beauty as a hedge however, if used in a solid row space at 4 to 5 feet apart; 10 feet or more for space between plants

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Rhododendron variety is not reliably winter hardy, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Radiant Red Deciduous Azalea is very easy to grow in moist but well-drained soil of average to high fertility. Radiant Red performs well in full sun in the northern USDA Zones where it grows but will appreciate some shade or filtered sun in the afternoon in the deep South. Some suggest full sun tolerance throughout the zones where it is listed hardy, however, we always like to play it safe so as mentioned a break from direct afternoon sun in hotter climates. Once established plants are quite drought tolerant, requiring supplemental water only during prolonged periods of dry summer weather. Native azaleas are very low-maintenance, requiring little if any pruning. That said, occasionally we might prune a stray branch that is spoiling the natural form of the plant.
