Ever After Ruby Azalea (Rhododendron ‘Ever After™ Ruby’) features dazzling ruby-red blossoms that rebloom from spring through fall, delivering consistent color to any garden. Dense, semi-evergreen foliage forms a compact mound that reaches about three to four feet tall and wide, making it a perfect fit for smaller landscapes or container plantings. Its true red double flowers attract pollinators, adding extra life to borders and understory plantings. This low-maintenance shrub also tolerates a range of light conditions, from partial shade to morning sun, providing flexibility when designing outdoor spaces.

This azalea offers robust heat tolerance and year-round foliage interest. Its moderately upright, mounding habit suits foundation plantings, mass groupings, or specimen accents in mixed borders. Developed by modern hybrid programs, it stands up to common azalea pests and diseases, especially when placed in well-drained soil with good air circulation. Whether used along walkways or as a low hedge, Ever After Ruby Azalea brings extended color and eye-catching appeal to the landscape.

Ever After Ruby Azalea Care

Choose a planting site that receives partial sun or morning light, especially in hotter climates where afternoon shade helps maintain attractive foliage. Plant it in rich, acidic soil with good drainage, adding organic matter if needed to improve moisture retention without creating soggy conditions. Water regularly during active growth, allowing the top layer of soil to dry slightly before each watering. A slow-release, acid-based fertilizer in spring promotes healthy foliage and recurring blooms. Mulch around the base to stabilize soil temperature and conserve moisture.

Prune after the primary bloom cycle to remove faded flowers or shape the plant. Light trimming or thinning can enhance air circulation, reducing potential fungal issues. Container-grown specimens may need occasional pinching to keep them looking neat. If you notice reduced flowering over time, consider rejuvenating older stems by cutting them back to promote fresh growth.

Ever After Ruby Azalea Spacing

Place each shrub about three feet apart when creating a row or hedge for a continuous display of color. For a more open layout, keep them at least 3.5 feet apart in mixed beds. If growing in containers, use a pot around 16 to 18 inches in diameter, providing room for the shallow root system. Adjust the spacing or container size as plants mature to avoid overcrowding.
