Red Wing Azalea

Vibrant and ruffled frills! The Red Wing Azalea (Rhododendron x 'Red Wing') is a fiery red flowering Azalea that lights up your late spring landscape with dramatic trusses of blooms over deep green broad-leaved evergreen foliage! Held in clusters called trusses, the single layer of petals forms gorgeous trumpets of saturated color, each with a heavily ruffled edge for a delightful May to June flowering display!

Selected for its drifts of brilliant and showy blooms and for its excellent branching, Red Wing is a smaller-sized flowering shrub that will enliven your landscape! Every migratory hummingbird and hungry pollinator will be drawn to the vibrant hue of this nectar-rich buffet you've provided them!

Red Wing Azalea bushes are heat and humidity tolerant throughout USDA growing zones 6 to 9, and fill your landscape with year-round broad-leaved evergreen form and refreshing greenery! These flowering shrubs grow to about 2-4 feet in height and width, filling out densely the dramatic dark foliage, persisting year-round - long after the abundant flowers are done.

Planting and Application:

The Red Wing Azalea has a dense growth habit that makes it an excellent choice as a lower, space-saving flowering property-defining hedge or screen! You'll love the burst of bright scarlet red flowers and their ruffled petals as they welcome the start of the growing season! Fantastic accent plants that brighten up any partial shade garden! Use a row as a fantastic backdrop to other garden beds, or for dividing a dappled shade front yard from the sidewalk as a buffer.

Create drifts, groupings, and rows of these dramatic flowering shrubs, either as en masse specimen plantings! Line pathways and walkways, or intersperse among mixed flowering shrub borders that bloom at different times throughout the year, giving you a constant floral display all year long! Anchor a garden bed or use it to brighten your home's foundation planting for maximum curb appeal!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

These members of the Rhododendron family thrive in shade and moist environments. Provide dappled shade all day, or morning sun and afternoon shade for these plants. Plant in a highly enriched, slightly-acidic environment with moderately moist well-drained soil. Apply a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist pine bark mulch, extending out over the entire root system for the best moisture retention. This hybrid Azalea stays compact and tidy on its own, but if you do need to perform any pruning, do so immediately after flowering.
